Ok - I finally solved the mystery.
I had only one single libperl.so on my system in /usr/local/lib and even 
this one was too much.

Using ldd I discovered that my new failing mod_perl.so was linked 
against this libperl.so while my old working mod_perl.so wasnt linked 
against any libperl.so.  So I removed this libperl.so and compiled 
mod_perl from the scratch and everything was going fine.

So it was a leftover from a old system. Digging a bit deeper showed that 
it was left behind by my good old perl5.6.1 :)

I still dont understand why my new perl5.8.5 does not have a libperl.so 
and why mod_perl can live very well without it.  But sometimes even one 
is too much :)


Thnx to all for helping me out here,
peter

ps: and thnx plus a nice weekend to geoffrey if he is still reading here :)
