this error means that the perl interpreter is already resident in the startup process, so it's too late to tell perl how to start. so, you need to trace through httpd.conf and extra.conf for mod_perl-specific directives. most of these will be applied as late as possible (PerlModule, etc) but some will start up the interpreter right away (<Perl>, PerlLoadModule) and thus conflict with PerlSwitches. this is a very rare problem so, if I had to guess, I would think that the problem rests in your system httpd.conf, which is generated from scratch but pulls in some of your existing httpd.conf. if you can't figure it out from a visual backtrace you may want to $ t/TEST -clean $ export APACHE_TEST_TRACE_LEVEL=debug $ t/TEST -conf which will spit out a truckload of information about which files the test configuration is pulling in and from where.
