It would appear to be installed.  The lines I found interesting
from the locate output were:

    /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/Digest/MD5.pm
    /usr/lib/perl5/Digest/MD5.pm

So we obviously have Digest/MD5.pm, but it's actually looking
for Digest/Perl/MD5.pm -- what is the "correct" fix for that?

As a workaround, I've symlinked one of the above into a
directory that's listed as being in @INC, and that allowed
apache-perl to start.

I now have other failures, but I'll look at them myself first.
