Can you please try again the following:
    port info mod_perl2
    sudo port selfupdate
    port info mod_perl2
    sudo port install mod_perl2
    port installed mod_perl2
(and tell me the variants reported by mod_perl2)?

For some weird reason "sudo port install mod_perl2 +perl5_22" would
also install "mod_perl2 + perl5_20" for me in the beginning, but that
was before I fixed the port and added perl5_22 to the list of
variants. (I'm curious why it picked 5.20; I would expect 5.16 at
best.)

So maybe you did a selfupdate too fast. Unless you have a second copy
of the Portfile somewhere, that's my only explanation, otherwise you
shouldn't have ended up with +perl5_20. So hopefully another
selfupdate and installation of mod_perl2 will fix the issue.

At least the error message is more clear now. Earlier you would have
ended up with a cryptic build error saying that one perl module was
missing.

You seem to be almost there.
