Untar it, perl Makefile.PL && make && make test
If your apache apxs executable is in your $ENV{PATH}, you shouldn't
need to do anything. However, I strongly recommend that you have
mod_perl 2.0.5 installed for testing this SizeLimit release. You can
do this either in dev or production.

I'm not sure what you are asking; if you want to file a bug, you can
use rt.cpan.org. Those have been getting resolved as they get filed
with each release.
Suggest you install mod_perl 2.0.5 in your dev environment and test
this version against it. If you are still running mp 2.0.4, you
should upgrade. Several years of development in that release.
