This is an excerpt from the generated 
WrapXS/Apache2/RequestUtil/RequestUtil.xs

MODULE = Apache2::RequestUtil    PACKAGE = Apache2::RequestRec   PREFIX = 
mpxs_Apache2__RequestRec_

char *
mpxs_Apache2__RequestRec_location(r)
    Apache2::RequestRec r

You see the location function is created directly in the Apache2::RequestRec 
namespace (the PACKAGE = ...).

The perl equivalent would be a file named Apache2/RequestUtil.pm that starts 
with a "package Apache2::RequestRec" line. When you now load 
Apache2::RequestUtil all functions in the file will be added to the 
Apache2::RequestRec namespace.

This is a common pattern in mod_perl.
