[users@httpd] apache2 or mod_perl2 oddball error

I'm not sure this is the best place to ask about this problem, and
this is my first posting to this mailing list.  I have already asked
the freebsd-questions mailing list about this, but have received no
replies as of this writing.

I'm running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Thu Jun  9 09:25:05 EDT 2011 on i386
and I rebuilt all my ports from source shortly after the upgrade.  I got
a weird error when I tried to start apache2 (using "% apachectl -t" first):

   [Mon Jun 13 10:16:15 2011] [error] syntax error at (eval 21) line 1, near "require Apache2::Const -"\n
   [Mon Jun 13 10:16:15 2011] [error] Can't load Perl module Apache2::Const -compile => ':common' for server localhost:80, exiting...

The Perl module in question is present here:

   freebsd% ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.0/mach/Apache2/Const.pm
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  25924 Jun 10 17:08 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.0/mach/Apache2/Const.pm

The httpd.conf file is unchanged and was working since from before
the upgrade.

In the /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file are these lines among
several hundred other lines:

   LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache22/mod_perl.so
   Include etc/apache22/Includes/*.conf

The only reference to the Apache2::Const module is in an Apache
config include file:

   PerlModule "Apache2::Const -compile => ':common'"

I have these FreeBSD ports installed among several hundred others:

   perl-5.14.0
   apache-2.2.19
   ap22-mod_perl2-2.0.5,3

Neither of these two commands gave any output at all:

   freebsd% perl -e 'use Apache2::Const qw( :common );
   freebsd% perl -M'Apache2::Const -compile => qw(:common)' -e 1;

This command gave one line of output:

   freebsd% perl -MApache2::Const -e 'print $Apache2::Const::VERSION, "\n"';
   2.000005

The above problem did not occur before the upgrade when I was running:

   perl-5.12.3
   apache-2.2.17_1
   ap22-mod_perl2-2.0.4_2,3

I don't know how to debug this problem.  No log files in /var/log were
changed by running the apachectl(8) command and there have been no new
lines added to /var/log/httpd-error.log since I rebooted and shut down
apache2 on June 9th as part of the upgrade.  Any and all ideas welcome.

Try

  <Perl>
    use Apache2::Const -compile=>qw/:common/;
  </Perl>

What you try to do is

  use q{Apache2::Const -compile => ':common'};

You can also write

  PerlModule Apache2::Const

It complies the same symbols as :common does, see:

$ perl -MApache2::Const -le 'print for keys %{Apache2::Const::}'
DECLINED
compile
AUTH_REQUIRED
REDIRECT
OK
DONE
bootstrap
import
ISA
BEGIN
SERVER_ERROR
VERSION
FORBIDDEN
NOT_FOUND

$ perl -le 'use Apache2::Const -compile=>qw/:common/; print for keys 
%{Apache2::Const::}'
DECLINED
compile
AUTH_REQUIRED
REDIRECT
OK
DONE
bootstrap
import
ISA
BEGIN
SERVER_ERROR
VERSION
FORBIDDEN
NOT_FOUND
