Seems to have to do with mod_ssl and mod_php, not perl.  I'm not 
surprised this is not widely known.  First, most sites probably still 
run a 1.3 version of apache.  Second, this only happens when client 
certificates are required and practically *nobody* does that.

How many clients do you have for this particular location?  If it is not 
many you can always run a separate apache server on a different IP or 
port and and then set SSLVerifyClient to require for that whole server.

Or you could fix the bug ;-)

Good luck,
Dave
