Recompile the mod_perl package with after you installed the new perl.
It looks like the mod_perl was build against the base CentOS perl
version and not the one you build.
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.
You need to get upstream to fix it. Report this bug in our and theirs

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.
