I just tried fighting this battle recently, in the end deciding to
just run a custom apache1.3/mp1, with the perhaps overly-optimistic
plan of hoping RedHat releases a newer MP2 (after release) which I can
then install (in parallel) with RPMs (I installed MP1 in /usr/local).

I wish I had kept notes - I hit the same problem - I believe it's as
Perrin mentioned, it's an older version of Apache::Status. I'm vaguely
thinking I altered startup.pl and added 

use Apache2;
use Apache::compat;

which I *think* did the trick. But then I hit other confusing issues
trying to figure out what the status of everything was - libapreq,
whether or not Apache::DBI was fully working, etc., and didn't have
time to test everything enough myself so I fell back to MP1. 

I found it difficult to find comprehensive, updated instructions for
handling a move from MP1 to MP2. I'd guess once MP2's released all
that will catch up, but at this point I basically chickened out. 

Good luck! (and of course I hope people will point out any errors in
my advice to you...)
