It's hard to tell what the problem might be without more
details (version information of mod_perl, Apache, and Perl),
as well as a minimal script illustrating the problem.
However, it's probably best to first look at the "make test"
problems, as they might be related. Such problems can be
reported according to the guidelines at
  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html
which will include information on your setup that will
help in examining this.
