If indeed it says that mod_perl is already installed, this
may mean that it found an Apache/2.0 installation, and
had previously installed mod_perl for it. Do you have
both an Apache/2.0 and Apache/2.2 installed?

One way to tell which one it's installing for is to
notice which files it downloads - if it fetches
mod_perl.tar.gz and mod_perl.so, it's doing so for
Apache/2.0, while if it gets mod_perl-2.2.tar.gz and
mod_perl-2.2.so, it's using Apache/2.2. Which ones
are they getting for you?

No - perhaps I could put that in; it'd help for situations
like this.

The installation, when successful, will copy the downloaded
mod_perl-2.2.so to your Apache2 modules directory, and
rename it to mod_perl.so. Do you have a mod_perl.so there?
