All you need to do is recompile/install mod_perl.  The issue is that all 
of your mod_perl modules are installed against the old version of perl 
(and hence are located in /usr/lib/perl5/5.X.X but the new version of 
perl is looking for them in /usr/lib/perl5/5.Y.Y.  You can disable 
mod_perl which is one solution (although not a good one if you use it ;)

The other option would be to upgrade mod_perl.  If you compiled from 
source it is just a matter of recompiling mod_perl.  If you installed 
from a package, I am suprised that the package manager didn't bitch 
about the dependancy.
