As [2] explains you have more than one libperl.so and the wrong one gets loaded. libperl.so should *not* be in /usr/lib or any other globally seen loader path if you want to have more than one perl on the same system. Unfortunately some distros don't get it and install libperl.(so|a) into /usr/lib :(
I'm guessing that this goes for any libperl.so, e.g. libperl.so.5.6 or libperl.so.5.8. If so then it would explain the weird behavior that I've been getting when compiling mod_perl.
Normally in addition to libperl.so.5.8 there will be a symlink to libperl.so. Applications normally link against .so and not .so.x.y, so an upgrade of that library will be possible w/o requiring the compilation of the former.
