That's what I suspected so I re-compiled mod_perl after I installed perl on
the compilation machine but got exactly the same results.

It's a known bug in RHEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791
I now see that the previous bug link I provided was against Fedora and is
closed. This one is against 5.0 and is open with recent activity.
After some more digging with a colleague we suspect that:
1. We probably miss something about RPM version ordering (the perl version
it looks for is 4:... while ours is just plain 5.8.8...)
2. The "overriding" package comes from rpmforge.
We solved it in two ways (we have two test fail-over machines so we could
try two fixes):
1. Manually installing all the dependent packages in one rpm command (there
is a circular dependency) somehow passed fine.
2. Giving our own private repository higher priority.
Thanks for your reply.
