mod_perl-1.99_10.tar.gz
This release:
- is the first release to support the hashing randomization in perl 5.8.1. - requires httpd 2.0.46 or higher
What about support for httpd-2.1.0-dev?
well, you shouldn't have any trouble compiling or using 1.99_10 with httpd 2.1. the only issues really relate to what makes 2.1 different than 2.0, and the only things that come to mind there are authentication and the mod_include rewrite.
if you are interested in the new authentication hooks, you can see the CPAN module and article I wrote on it.

while that code doesn't work on threaded mpms, it should be pretty easy to see how you can just write your own authen hook instead of using that module. and I've recently decided to redo the module anyway so that I can support threads - the interface will be less transparent, but it will work in a threaded environment.
as for mod_include, support for #perl sections was entirely missing until a few weeks ago, when I release Apache::IncludeHook
http://search.cpan.org/~geoff/Apache-IncludeHook-2.00_01/
though I haven't gotten around to writing it against 2.1 yet.
are there other features you are interested in that you don't have access to with 1.99_10? if there are, I'd be happy to work on integrating them, whether in a CPAN module or in core, depending on the circumstances. if you haven't guessed, 2.1 interests me :)
