Hello,
I am trying to use Apache::DBI module. I got it installed on the SUSE
Linux 11SP4 on my dev box.
It has a dependency of mod_perl2. But when I try to install
mod_perl2, I get
Please repair your Module::CoreList at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 51.

Going by the code in Build.pm, I think the version between Corelist
and Embed is not matching. But the same is installed on our test
servers and I am not sure what is different. Probably it has
Apache::DBI for Apache 1.x installed? How do I check? and any help to
resolve the above error?
You will probably find that maintaining your own copy of Perl is
less work than depending on the pre-compiled [mess] in most
distro's is less work. Building Perl takes little enough time: just
install it into /opt/perl/<version> via:
./Configure --prefix=/opt/perl -de;
This is really true and this is really a problem. It would be nice to
get some alternate packages made for the larger distros
Just a comment here : we have been installing and using mod_perl2 for many years on many
servers with Linux Debian, and installing it using the normal Debian package manager
commands, without any problems that I can recall.
e.g.
root@kunz:~# uname -a
Linux kunz 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64
GNU/Linux
root@kunz:~# apt-cache search mod_perl
[ .. long list, among which ..]
libapache2-mod-perl2 - Integration of perl with the Apache2 web server
libapache2-mod-perl2-dev - Integration of perl with the Apache2 web server -

libapache2-mod-perl2-doc - Integration of perl with the Apache2 web server -

root@kunz:~# apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

So I guess that your issue above does indeed have to do with the specific SUSE packages,
and you should probably discuss that with them.
(you can see examples of building it in some of my talks on
slideshare.net if you like). After that:
cd /opt/perl;
rm *;
ln -fs <version>/* .;
[ -d /opt/bin ] || mkdir /opt/bin;
cd /opt/bin;
ln -fs ../perl/bin/* .;
and add "/opt/bin" to your path. After that "cpan FooBar" will
install any modules you require, probably with less hassle than
working around O/S issues with library versions.
You could spend a week or so banging your head out deciphering
whatever bone-headed assumptions the distro builders made or
just get it right the first time yourself.
The process may look daunting the first time around but after
a while you'll notice it takes only a few of your favorite
beverages a month to maintain and induces far less annoyance...
Enjoy
