I'm not sure I had the same problem, but it was kind of a pain to make
mod_perl work with Perlbrew.  I wanted to be able to simply run "cpanm
mod_perl2" and have it installed from CPAN.   But, that means not
installing modules in the default location.

So, I added this to a local copy of mod_perl's Makefile.PL and then saved
the new mod_perl tarball in our local repo.


+if ( $ENV{PERLBREW_ROOT} ) {
+    my $root = "$ENV{PERLBREW_ROOT}/perls/$ENV{PERLBREW_PERL}";
+    die "$root directory not found" unless -d $root;
+    push @ARGV, "MP_AP_DESTDIR=$root";
+}
+else {
+    die "Must be in PERLBREW environment";
+}

I also have to set DESTDIR, although that might be for libapreq2.

The other odd thing is tests failed because the tests were somehow loading
the exiting httpd.conf files in /etc/httpd.   Shouldn't do that, right?
