You are correct, Grant. My apologies, t/REPORT is created at build time 
and it's only useful for the test suite bug reports. For post installed 
mod_perl there is mp2bug script which does a similar thing. It's mentioned 
  here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Important_Information
but I need to drop the META comment. I'll fix that shortly. Please let us 
know if you could find mp2bug and run it and send the info here. thanks.

Ideally you should build mod_perl by yourself. Especially sinice 1.99_17 
is a way too old. You should install the latest version.
