I dug around a bit more, and found the below in Build.PL:
my $has_mod_perl_2 = eval { require mod_perl2 } || 0;
my $has_only_mp2 = ! $has_mod_perl_1 && $has_mod_perl_2;
# XXX - this really isn't right since we really want to know which
# version of mod_perl they _intend_ to use with Mason, rather than
# just blindly adding all these prereqs.
if ($has_mod_perl_1)
{
$prereq{'Apache::Request'} = 1.05; # minimum for OSX
}
So, it looks like this is a well known issue. The question of why
Apache::Request refuses to install (because of mod_perl vs mod_perl2)
is still open, but I was hoping to bypass that and install
HTML::Mason, but it looks from the above I cannot, unless I ignore the
missing prerequisite.
