Not familiar with apachetoolbox but I'm familiar with the problem in general; we had problems with SA's monkeying around with modules and perl installs on our prod boxes (thus breaking the production mod_perl install), and began packaging our own perl binary in our home directory.
As long as your run mod_perl's Makefile.PL with the proper version of perl you want, it will use that perl (e.g. do /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL instead of perl Makefile.PL). Again, I'm not familiar w/ Apachetoolbox but it's a good bet that it will use your PATH variable, so try setting your environment before you run the program, like this: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH That will make the system search /usr/local/bin/ before anyplace else, conceivably finding your perl.
