Thanks for that. Yes, it would appear that the versions of apache2 and mod_perl 'bundled' with Ubuntu 13.10 are not exactly in sync and the version of mod_perl (which is the latest on CPAN afaict) has not yet caught up with apache 2.4.
I guess the Apache2::xxx modules are 'wafer thin' layers over the apache2 libraries so the actual API is determined by the underlying library rather than what the POD purports to provide. Has there been any statement of direction from the mod_perl maintainers as to how apache 2.4 will be supported from a 'backwards compatibility' perspective? I imagine there is quite a bit of code out there that depends on the old API.
