Bundle::Apache2 is not correct. Bundles are just collections of related 
modules on CPAN that make downloading easier; they are not to be called 
directly.

Apache2 is part of mod_perl and we recommend that you get the mod_perl 
package from your distribution vendor.

Are you on Linux? What distro and version?

For example, on our dev server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the 
packages httpd-2.0.52-22.ent and mod_perl-1.99_16-4 provide the Apache2 
module.

On Debian-based distributions you'd probably be best looking into 
apache2 and libapache2-mod-perl2.

It may be possible to get Apache2.pm from CPAN but it's so closely 
related to Apache itself that I always get it packaged from the same 
source that packaged Apache for me.

If you're on a Unix system or a source-based Linux system then my advice 
is not as applicable but generally speaking I'd probably just visit the 
Apache2 web site and try to follow directions for compiling mod_perl.

Does this help?
