modperl assumes libperl is installed where perl puts it by default, but it seems some distributions (or maybe even perl hints) do something else. the Makefile only uses it to relink mod_perl.so if libperl has changed, which is only useful when perl is build rebuilt often. so now if the libperl modperl is looking for doesn't exist, it just leaves out this feature. try with current cvs.
