(answering just this part)

because, assuming you use mod_php, and your PHP is built to support mysql (it 
almost always is), then PHP will be linked against libmysqlcient, and apache 
will link in mod_php at runtime, bringing in mysql by reference. Then your 
mod_perl app uses DBI, which also dlopens libmysqlclient, and hilarity 
ensues. To answer your question of "how?", I'd suggest ldd'ing the 
appropriate components -- mod_php.so and auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so.
