Please inline those in the future, so one could comment on it in reply.

Could you please attach (yes, attach this time :)
/root/NEW/mod_perl-2.0.0-RC1/lib/Apache/BuildConfig.pm
I'm trying to figure out why the above happens.

Also what were the exact arguments you've passed to Makefile.PL?

Now back to your problem.

That's after you did 'make install' for RC1? how come you have both now?
It now looks that you've installed RC1 with MP_INST_APACHE2=1, whereas 
1.99_14 was installed w/o it. So you ended up with a mix of two modperls. 
I suggest you go and nuke any occurences of modperl from your perl tree 
and do 'make install' again. The above should report only one mod_perl of 
the 1.99_ generation.

If the leak still persist, please post a shortest possible script that we 
can reproduce the problem with. The best you can do is to prepare a bug 
reporting tarball, based on bug-reporting-skeleton-mp2.tar.gz from:
