Apache2::Reload not included, cannot build?

[Jim Garrison <jh...@jhmg.net>]

I wanted to use Apache2::Reload but find that it's not included with
the base mod_perl distribution (at least on Centos 6.6).  No problem,
I'll just fire up cpan and build it:

cpan[1]> install Apache2::Reload

Googling "Undefined subroutine &Symbol::gensym" turns up only
4 hits, all of them from 2004.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
