Well CPAN.pm is broken then.

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Apache/ - its in there.

You should be allowed to put multi-package modules on CPAN and just have
it work. I put things into the AxKit distro to make the installation
simpler, because Bundles and PREREQ_PM really just doesn't work all that
well for installing pre-requisites (as became evident by the number of
posts to axkit-users about prerequisites).
