I can confirm that this is now fixed for me.  Thanks!

All of the tests (a few are skipped because of missing deps) are passing
for me.  It looks like the only test from my application that fails with
this error under Apache::TestMB is from Test::Distribution, which 'eval
"require ...;"'s the module in.  I think we can safely consider this a
red herring (although it would be nice is Apache2::ServerUtil died more
politely when not run under mod_perl).
