You are correct, but you're thinking of a different thing.  That's the
part that adds the X-Forwarded-For header, which you used to need a
patch for and no longer do.  (It was added in the 1.x version too, so
you should never need a patch for it if you are running a recent
release.)

What Apache::ForwardedFor does is just run on the mod_perl side, read
the X-ForwardedFor header, and set the remote IP value to fake out code
that runs after it.
