I did initially try to use mod_perl2 and Apache2, but I couldn't get
the HTML::Mason module to work with them; and since Mason is my reason
for wanting to use mod_perl at all, I backed down to 1.x.

I wish it were so!  But, no; that machine's Apache server has been
reloaded and restarted half a dozen times every day, as I've tweaked
its configuration.  I am quite certain that I didn't make an
configuration changes that didn't immediately get tested.  So, no,
nothing explicitly changed between the last restart of Apache before
the reboot, and the reboot itself.  Which makes me think it must be
something that was in the running state of the computer -- but what?
I really can't imagine.

Backtrace to follow.  In the mean time, here is the perl -V output.
Thanks for your help.
