Is this check vital for mod_perl to operate?
It has nothing to do with modperl. It's Apache-Test that needs to be able to configure the setup.
I believe it is trying to generate a config to use for the test script. You might be able to skip it by hacking up Makefile.PL, but it's really not worth the trouble. Your machines are configured to answer the question "what is the hostname for 127.0.0.1?" with a hostname that doesn't resolve to anything. You need to fix that, either by making it give a hostname that works or by making the hostname it does give work.
127.0.0.1 is a loopback device. If your machine is not running a loopback devide, that could be the explanation to the problem.
