I just tried to backport it and ran into this:
-> Considering perl (>= 5.8.7-3)
Tried versions: 5.8.4-8
-> Does not satisfy version, not trying
Since perl is a non-trivial thing to upgrade on a Debian system, that
could be a problem. However, I went ahead and changed the perl
dependency to >= 5.8.4-8 (the version in Sarge). I don't know *anything*
about perl, so I am not sure what ill effects this could possible have.
You are welcome to download the packages from my website:
http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/debian/libapache2-mod-perl2-dev_2.0.1-2.0.0.sanchez.0_i386.deb
http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto/debian/libapache2-mod-perl2_2.0.1-2.0.0.sanchez.0_i386.deb
Please test them thoroughly and let me know if they even work. If you
are happy with them, I will add them to my unofficial archive and keep
them reasonably up to date.
Also, if you are interested in doing this yourself, I have written a
HOWTO that covers customizing Debian packages which applies equally well
to backporting:
