Ouch.  Someone must have changed things on your system without testing
the web server.  Maybe it was a new install of perl.  It looks like some
of the required libraries got moved or removed.

Do you have a backup of your application code?  I'd suggest building a
fresh apache/perl/mod_perl, verifying that it works, and then putting
your code in place.  There are plenty of docs on perl.apache.org to help
you with the install.
