Hi Vince,

 From Apache::DBI:

startup, read the docu !!\n" if $Apache::DBI::DEBUG > 1;

This is something that was never updated for MP2 pre or post RC5 in 
Apache::DBI.  The mod_perl site is correct.
I'll patch this tonight or over the weekend as its a simple one (see below).
Thanks for the spot.

You're not finding any references to it in your code because it doesn't 
exist in MP2 as the documentation says expect in
compat.pm

Its defined as following in compat.pm:

 >($Apache::Server::Starting, $Apache::Server::ReStarting) =
 >    Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count() == 1 ? (1, 0) : (0, 1);
