The problem is solved when I manually embed the manifest file for mod_perl.so (right after "nmake", and before "nmake test" or "nmake install"). (I didn't actually try copying the manifest file into Apache2\modules. I don't think copying the manifest file is generally the done thing. The usual way to do this is to embed it: that's what apxs does and that's what ExtUtils-MakeMaker does, so that's what we ought to do here.) All the Apache2::* modules etc are already handled by ExtUtils-MakeMaker. Btw, the list of patches that I applied to perl-5.8.8 for building with VC8 is as follows: 27500, 27503, 27556, 27888, 28978, 29218, 29233, 29266, 29350, 29352, 29358, 29375, 29409, 30878, 31271, 31343, 31344, 31721, 31725 and 31742. A patch to apply all of these to perl-5.8.8 is attached. Alternatively, perl-5.9.5 contains all the relevant patches and also works with mod_perl-2.0.3 (I think; bleadperl certainly did work shortly before perl-5.9.5 was released, so it should be OK).
