How do you know that the CLASSPATH is set? Whenever there is a problem
with something that runs under mod_cgi but not mod_perl it's typically
user, permission and environment differences. What user are you running
apache as?
Inside of you mod_perl module, before you load your java classes in a
BEGIN block, print out $ENV{CLASSPATH} and see what value you get. If
you don't get what you expected, you can set that value either in you
httpd.conf or your startup script.

I've used Inline::Java with mod_perl and it has been working just fine.
But I've never used it with JNI under mod_perl so I couldn't tell you if
that might be an issue or not.
