Thanks to Calle Dybedahl and Raphael Kraus for responding - you shined a light in a dark place! I had to rebuild subversion after updating swig and apache2 (I'm on Redhat, which of course runs everything several versions out-of-date...), but now the perl bindings are working and everything is in order. As you said, Calle, it had nothing to do with mason after all.
