it is a "pre-1.25" release.  the _xx is intended to indicate a beta 
type warning.  and intended to be left out of the cpan index as some
sort of effort that people who know to find it know it is considered
a 1.25 candidate, not yet stamped an "official" release.  just so happens
in this case the _xx version is stable and required for apache-1.3.14.

actually, i think it was my idea to leave _xx versions out of the cpan
index.

Oops ;-)

Doug, maybe it's getting time to release a 1.25. I have to admit I
haven't found the time to read the mod_perl list, so I have no clue
what's keeping it from getting out.

But 1.3.14 has been out a while, and some people are relying on
1.24_01, as we see ;-)

I promise to give it a whirl when it comes, but I don't have the
time to test Betas right now.
