can you post the output of the script below, run like so:

% perl perlnm.pl stack_sp POSIX

and your 'perl -V' too.

use Config;

my $sym = shift;
my @modules;

for (@ARGV) {
my $so;
for my $path (@INC) {
if (-e ($so = "$path/auto/$_/$_.so")) {
push @modules, $so;
last;
}
}
}

for ("$Config{archlibexp}/CORE/libperl.a",
 "$Config{archlibexp}/CORE/libperl.so",
 $Config{perlpath},
 @modules)
  {
  next unless -e $_;
  my $cmd = "nm $_ | grep $sym";
  print "$cmd\n";
  system $cmd;
  }

Hmmm, well shouldn't Perl and OS handle that?  It's only referenced in the 
script once.  The POSIX module is not among the default preloaded modules 
(CGI, etc) and it bombs as described when I try to preload from the 
httpd.conf.

It's very bizarre.

  The script runs fine from the command line.
  There are two versions of perl on the box 5.6 and 5.0005.  5.6 is first 
in
  the path on the command line (checked via perl -v and whereis).  I 
examined
  the perl-status page for mod_perl (Perl Configuration and Loaded 
Modules).
  They indicate that it's using 5.6 , the @INC paths have 5.6 stuff listed
  first, and all of the loaded modules are coming out of the 5.6 
directory.
 
  I am only using CGI and POSIX.  Since CGI was preloaded, I tried some
  arbitrary unloaded modules (Math::Trig, etc.) and they ran fine.
 
  Any ideas?

Could a POSIX.so already be loaded somehow?

Indeed it is - I actually have no idea why its happening. Did you upgrade
an old Perl or something odd?
