So it sounds like a loader problem, since mod_perl.so is loaded after 
httpd is in the memory, so there shouldn't be a problem finding the
apr_pool_cleanup_null symbol.

Of course you could build mod_perl statically [1] and then there shouldn't 
be no problems (but it'd be also nice to figure out what's the problem 
with your setup):

Submit a bug report to httpd-dev?
