The issue is: does apache2 reports the segmentation fault with
Carp::confess? If this is not the case, that's why you don't see the
stack trace information.

You may try Carp::Always, though I don't know if it will work within
mod_perl (I never tried it). If it works, it will turn every die/warn
into croak/carp with stack traces. It the segmentation fault is thrown
via die, you may able to see the information you want.
