It's not really a problem only the error-message is missleading. Take
the following scenario:

* mp-1.29 installed
* mp-1.99_21 installed

Run perl Makefile.PL and you'll get a completely missleading error-message:

- ------------------------8<------------------------
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/apache2/bin/apxs
...
mod_perl/1.29 installation detected ... not ok

Cannot install mod_perl/1999.22 on top of mod_perl/1.29. .
...
- ------------------------8<------------------------

The problem is the time mod_perl is required ;-). The attached patch
solves this problem and the error-message makes sense.
