    I don't use mod_perl myself, but some observations:

    (1) In woody, libapache-mod-perl actually installs perl_module--look
    in /usr/lib/apache/1.3/400mod_perl.info, you get:
    
LoadModule: perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so
Directives:
 PerlHandler
 PerlRequire
 PerlModule
 <Perl>
Handles:
 perl-script
Description: If you can do it with perl, you can do it with Apache.

Which may, or may not be the same thing as mod_perl. 

Also there is a package apache-perl (also in woody) that has mod_perl
(perl_module?) statically compiled in.

apache -l will tell you what modules are currently compiled in, and the
loadModule directives show what is currently being loaded. 

When I installed libapache-mod-perl, I had to add the LoadModule
directive by hand.
