I haven't looked at the Debian package, or tried anything with
mod_perl-2.0.4, but I've just checked out origin/maint-5.10 from the
Perl git repo (in fact, I took the snapshot at
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/snapshot/f14269908e5f8b4cab4b55643d7d
d9de577e7918.tar.gz) and tried that with Apache 2.2.22 and mod_perl from
trunk and the tests all pass for me... (This is on Windows 7 x64 with
VC++ 2010.)
