If you look at Makefile.PL it has the following code:

ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile(
[...]
     macro => {
[...]
         PERL             => $build->perl_config('perlpath'),

which essentially does:

   require Config;
   PERL => $Config{perlpath},

meaning that your perl's Config.pm is wrong. Check what you get when you 
run:

% /usr/bin/perl-5.8.0-threaded -V:perlpath

does it print '/usr/bin/perl-5.8.0-threaded' or '/usr/local/bin/perl'
