One bit of pre-advice with questions concerning mod_perl and the many Apache::xxxx modules it is best to include OS type and Apache version. It helps :)
First check to see if mod_perl has been installed as a DSO. There are known issues with this and as far as I know they have not yet been resolved. Symptoms can be anything from Apache dieing silently on start-up to perl handlers segfaulting unexpectedly.
The solution is to compile mod_perl into Apache statically. I know that this is a pain in the hockey puck, especially when you have to upgrade several servers but it is the only way I have found to assure stabilty.
Hope that this is your situation and this helps.
