The file /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34/ExtUtils/Embed.pm comes from the port p5.34-extutils-embed. This port is not listed as a dependency of mod_perl2. Maybe mod_perl2 conflicts with it. Try deactivating that port first. Clean mod_perl2 before trying again.

p5.34-extutils-embed seems to be confused about its version number. The port version is 1.140.0 but the code in the file that calculates its version is written as:

$VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.2505 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);

hence it is reporting its version as 1.2505.

The ExtUtils::Embed module appears to be part of the perl core. The perl5.34 port provides a newer version of this module at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34/ExtUtils/Embed.pm which I assume will be used if the separate older module is not installed. I wonder how long it has been part of the perl core and whether there is still any good reason for us to have a separate port for it. We do still have some very old perl versions available in MacPorts though (perl5.16 is the oldest); maybe it is still useful for those.

After selfupdate and upgrading outdated, mod_perl2@2.0.12_0+perl5_34 installes OK for arm64.
