It isn't so much mod_perl as it is the perl DBI::mysql driver... I imagine that as 4.1.1 comes out of alpha eventually the maintainers will update to the new libraries...
You might also want to be aware that if you added users while mysql was in 'new passwords' mode, they'll have the long password hash and even after you restart mysql with --old-passwords you won't be able to login as that user... just redo the user's password while in --old-passwords mode and you'll be able to login. hopefully that'll save YOU some time. :) ken.
