works fine here, the Makefile.PL
package Apache::TestDirective;

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

use Apache::ExtUtils qw(command_table);
use Apache::src ();

my @directives = (
{ name => 'Directive4',
errmsg => 'Anything',
args_how => 'RAW_ARGS',
req_override=> 'OR_ALL',
},
);

command_table(\@directives);

WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Apache::TestDirective',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'TestDirective.pm',
'INC' => Apache::src->new->inc,
);

TestDirective.pm:

package Apache::TestDirective;

use strict;
use strict;
use Apache::ModuleConfig ();
use DynaLoader ();

if($ENV{MOD_PERL}) {
no strict;
$VERSION = '0.01';
@ISA = qw(DynaLoader);
__PACKAGE__->bootstrap($VERSION); #command table, etc.
}

sub Directive4 {
warn "Directive4 @_\n";
}

1;
__END__

in the mod_perl source tree, I add this to t/docs/startup.pl:
use blib qw(/home/dougm/test/Apache/TestDirective);

and at the bottom of t/conf/httpd.conf:

PerlModule Apache::TestDirective
Directive4 hi

% make start_httpd
Directive4 Apache::TestDirective=HASH(0x83379d0) Apache::CmdParms=SCALAR(0x862b80c) hi

% grep Directive4 t/logs/error_log
Directive4 Apache::TestDirective=HASH(0x83119dc)
Apache::CmdParms=SCALAR(0x8326878) hi

% make kill_httpd

try building mod_perl with PERL_TRACE=1, the 'setenv MOD_PERL_TRACE all',
you should get some useful diagnostics
