All mod_perl 1.x versions work fine with 5.8.2-RC2. Though preferrably please test with 1.29 or the latest cvs version.
mod_perl 1.99_11-dev is required for 5.8.2-RC2. Currently it's available only via cvs or snapshots:
http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution
mod_perl 1.99_11 will be released soon after perl 5.8.2 is released.

I was hoping to avoid release candidate two, but there have been a few significant tweaks since RC1. Notably
0: Jan Dubois has provided a patch to make threaded 5.8.2 binary compatible with 5.8.0. 5.8.1 accidentally broke binary compatibility with 5.8.0 for certain threaded functions, and we feel that given the choice of compatibility with only one, choosing 5.8.0 is the lesser of two evils.
1: Stas Bekman has worked tirelessly to figure out how I broke mod_perl, and we both think that it's all working now.
2: Dave Mitchell has fixed several more thread sharing leaks.
3: The change to UNIVERSAL has been taken out for now.
4: The caching of failure on %INC needs more work, and is out for now
RC2 actually escaped to CPAN this morning, so it's probably quite widespread by now:

(or tar.gz if you really want a 25% larger download.)
Unless any show stoppers are reported within the next 48 hours I will weigh the anchor, and 5.8.2 will be on her way.
And nothing The Very Big Corporation of America can do will stop us. :-)
