Apache2 mod_perl, missing File.pm, cant use Compress

[Holger Banko]

I am trying to migrate a website from mod_perl1.0 to mod_perl2.0 and I
am a complete noob when it comes to Perl. I got already stuck with pre-
loading of the Compress Module. In my Apache configuration it looks
like this

PerlModule Apache:BI
PerlModule Apache2::Filter
PerlModule Apache::Compress

The DBI and Filter module are not complaining, but the Compress.pm is
missing File.pm

Wed Oct 22 01:49:54 2008] [error] Can't locate Apache/File.pm in @INC
(@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/

[Wed Oct 22 01:49:54 2008] [error] Can't load Perl module
Apache::Compress for server holgerdev2:0, exiting...

Trying to be smart, I used cpan:

install Apache::File

But it fails, because File.pm is looking for Apache 1.3 source, so not
really helpful for Apache2. An Apache2::File is not available.

I checked the migration guide and found this

Apache::File

"The methods from mod_perl 1.0's module Apache::File have been either
moved to other packages or removed."

Yes? To which packages? How can I get Compress to work or is there a
set of Apache2 perl modules?

Help
