I cannot find any evidence that this is actually broken.  It doesn't
appear to use any of the mod_perl APIs broken by Apache 2.4, and when I
install it and test it as best I can it still appears to work perfectly
well.

The only thing that I see that ought to be improved is that it should
now build-depend on apache2-dev rather than on apache2-threaded-dev |
apache2-prefork-dev, and that the build-dependency on apache2 itself
appears to be unnecessary.  However, none of these actually prevent it
from building with Apache 2.4 in unstable (the apache2-threaded-dev |
apache2-prefork-dev build-dependencies are unversioned, so the Provides
in apache2-dev is good enough), and there's no reason for them to block
Apache 2.4 entering testing.

Applying the following patch should close this out.
