Tests for Apache-CrowdAuth-1.2.3 fail to detect mod_perl version

I'm attempting to integrate subversion authentication with Crowd. When running the tests for Apache-CrowdAuth-1.2.3 I received the attached error (error.txt). The problem appears to be that Apache-CrowdAuth-1.2.3/blib/lib/Apache/CrowdAuth.pm fails to correctly detect my mod_perl version on line 41 because the error is being issued inside the else statement on line 62. As I am not a perl guru, my admittedly crude solution was to comment out the code that I didn't need. My changes to the file are detailed in the attached patch file (CrowdAuth.patch). After making this change the output from the tests is attached in the file success.txt
