It was a long weekend, but as I ponder this, more of it is coming back to me.

I'm working on a Debian server. The previous weekend I had installed mod_perl, until I encountered namespace clashes when I attempted to run a second instance of RT on the same apache. Further research led me to believe that fastcgi would bypass that issue.

But when it came time to install fastcgi, I ran into some conflicts with respect to the pre-requisites. In order to resolve those, I wound up doing an `apt-get dist-upgrade`. I then had to completely rebuild my site's perl lib, most of it from cpan.

I was focused on making RT work. I did not come back to testing this application under development until I had those two RT instances up and running. And that is when I encountered this issue.

I don't know if that sheds any light on this situation or not. But perhaps it was not fastcgi which broke Exporter, but something else I did in that move from Etch to Lenny, in order to get fastcgi working.

I'm baffled, here.
