Hi Makekee:

This means that mod_perl is either not installed, or has been
installed but has not been enabled.

Try running the command "sudo a2enmod perl"; if that fails with the
message "ERROR: Module perl does not exist!", then you will need to
run "sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-perl2" - but that also means
that somehow the prerequisites for OpenSRF didn't get properly
installed.
