Oops, wrong thread!

I did find this: [Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #32486] ModPerl::MM: no include path for apr.h]

thanks for the link DGPickett. Unfortunately, I don't understand how to connect it with my case, i.e. how to proceed.

I guess for some less compatible upgrades you need to explicitly provide an include path. comp.lang.perl.modules: Re: Customizing include path with CPAN install
