um, there's no Apache::Constants in mp2 :) I wouldn't suggest using
Apache2::compat with method handlers though, but for no good reason - I
don't know that it _doesn't_ work, only that it adds a layer of complexity
that may be clouding the issue.

that needs to be

Apache2::Const::OK with RC5

that's an odd thing to have in a handler

there's no Apache.pm in mp2

that should be Apache2::RequestRec

beware of that idiom in mp2 - it expect the request to be global, which
requires the proper httpd.conf switches. just pass $r instead.

since there's no Apache class in mp2 the autoloader can't find what it
needs. the mentioned adjustments should help.

of course :) but the underlying functionality is still there, and I'm sure
you can find stuff on method handlers in the perl.apache.org docs.
