What do you mean by "regular ModPerl"?
What version of Apache and what version of mod_perl are you running?
IIRC ModPerl::Registry is part of mod_perl2 (which runs with Apache 2)

Well it would help to know what line was generating that error.

No. No backups of the overwritten files are kept.

Uninstalling the CGI.pm you installed and putting back the version that
was there previously probably would fix it.

Yes, httpd is Apache. You can't install Apache.pm (aka mod_perl)
without Apache installed. However at various stages thoughout the
evolution of mod_perl there where some fairly major renamings of the
Perl modules that comprise mod_perl.
Also CGI.pm interacts rather closely with mod_perl.
You really need to be sure that your versions of Apache, mod_perl and
CGI.pm are all interoperable versions.

Did your code call CGI.pm ?
