Failure to load Embperl with PerlModule directive

[Oskar Ahner <suppressed>]

Hi all!

I have:

apache httpd-2.2.3
mod_perl-2.0.2
Embperl-2.2.0

where mod_perl is statically linked to httpd.

Now I try to load Embperl from httpd.conf with this directive:

PerlModule Embperl

When I start apache I get this error:

[Sun Sep 10 23:10:00 2006] [error] panic: memory wrap at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Embperl.pm line 
108.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 3.\n
[Sun Sep 10 23:10:00 2006] [error] Can't load Perl module Embperl for 
server localhost:80, exiting...

However, if I try to use this directive instead:
PerlPostConfigRequire "/home/user/startup.pl"

where startup.pl has this contents:

use Embperl;
1;

It works!

But why? As I understand it, it should not make any difference to invoke 
PerlModule compared to invoke PerlPostConfigRequire except when in time 
during the apache start process processes the directive.
