Versions of mod_perl before 2.0-RC5 install mod_perl in a location not 
in your stangard @INC. This should in @INC/Apache2/mod_perl.pm.

You'll need to add a
push @INC, "/path/to/lib/Apache2";
line to the Makefile.PL or whatever files use mod_perl.pm and related 
files for Kwiki.

Thats why you need the Apache2.pm module, which _is_ in your standard 
@INC, as it adjusts your @INC to include these directories.

By doing the above mucking with @INC you can emulate this yourself.

You've probably seen the documentation telling you to add
PerlModule Apache2
in your httpd.conf

This is why.

Just a forewarning, as of 2.0-RC5 this changed.  As it stands, 
Kwiki::Modperl will _not_ work with 2.0-RC5 _until_ Kwiki is ported. 
But once it has been, the above 'HACK's will not be neccessary.
