OK, then how am I supposed to install both mod_perl1 and mod_perl2 on
the same box?

You've just committed me to one or the other.  Ick.   I install
mod_perl1, and I get an Apache::Request that works with mod_perl1.
I install mod_perl2, and I get an Apache::Request that works with mod_perl2.

This is unacceptable.

You cannot use the same namespace for two different modules.
