This is looking bad for mod_perl2: even the upcoming 2.0.6 release
doesn't support Apache 2.4 yet.

Quoting Torsten Förtsch in
 http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40perl.apache.org/msg13043.html

  For now use httpd 2.2.
  
  There is a httpd24 branch in the SVN repository. However, even that one won't 
  compile because last fall the httpd data structures have changed yet again. It 
  worked with 2.3.x as of last summer except for the API changes that come with 
  httpd 2.4.
