True.  I think it can be done in one class by setting various object/class
attributes to be the right meth/class/whatever based on whether or not
we're using mod_perl 1 or 2.  Then we have simpler subroutines without
lots of:

 if ( $mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.99 ) {
    ...
 } else {
    ...
 }

The reason I dislike that is the two blocks of the branch generally are
doing the same thing, but they invoke slightly different methods or
classes to do what they want.
