This one has a good search engine:

There is usually just one, which is the system perl.

That's not normal.  Looking at the source for this module, it has not
been ported to any final release version of mod_perl 2.  It only
supports the 3 year old beta version.  You can use this module with
apche 1/mod_perl 1 or port it to apache 2/mod_perl 2 (probably very
simple from the looks of the code), or look for a different NIS
module.
