You are not upgrading a full package: we will be adding a new patch to
perl (or replace an existing one).

1) Strange errors have been reported the mod_perl mailling list:

  * Re: It did not QUITE work! Re: "strange error" is related to CGI.pm 
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=111601794202239&w=2
    (17 messages)

  * CGI.pm 3.10 is on CPAN
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=111602212309524&w=2

2) the diff from 3.08 to 3.10 is small: it only modifies two files
    i) three lines in the CGI module
    ii) a test file

3) the upgrade to mod_perl 2.0.0 RC5 (and later) _will_ break a lot of
   applications: while most CPAN mod_perl related modules have already
   been updated, there is at least one - HTML::Mason - that hasn't and
   won't be until the final version of mod_perl 2.0.0 is out (expected
   soon but we never know: mod_perl 2 has been in beta stage for at
   least three years); other modules will suffer more than one update
   to get things fixed (eg: CGI.pm).
