Isn't that easier to do with the following standard Apache directives 
(independently of mod_perl) ?
<location  /xyz>
  Deny from all
  Allow from (list of IP's)
</location>

If the above is not applicable, then you could use something like
<location /xyz>
  PerlSetVar AllowedIps "ip1 ip2 ip3"
  ...
</location>

and in your module do

sub handler {
  my $r = shift; # the request object
  my $AllowedIps = $r->dir_config('AllowedIps') || ''; # get "ip1 ip2 ip3"
  ...
}
and I guess there must be a function in mod_perl to get the IP from 
which the request is coming, to compare.

Hope this helps.
