I did see one mention in the mod_perl change log:
Prepare modperl for the upcoming perl 5.14 [Torsten Foertsch
about Perl 5.14 so the change from 5.12 to 5.14 looks to be relevant.

I have Perl 5.14 compiled from source.
I have apache 2.2.19 compiled from source.
I have mod_perl2 2.0.5 compiled from source (with these patches):

It would be a fairly large amount of work for me to revert to Perl 5.12... :-(

Well, all my FreeBSD ports (including apache2 and mod_perls in this case)
are compiled from source. I could rebuild them and see if there are any
testing errors. I wouldn't know how to craft a small test case since my
aim here is just to get apache2 to launch - which unfortunately it won't... :-(
