This is because even though you've told apache to map a certain URL to a certain
script, there is only 1 running Perl interpreter. And since Perl only allows 1
file to occupy a certain namespace you get those conflicts.

The only way to have 2 different packages use the same package name is to have
separate Perls with different @INCS running. There's no way to do this under
Apache/mod_perl (that I'm aware of). So either run 2 different Apaches, or put
the modules into their own namespaces. Instead of "package Foo" do "package
ClientA::Foo".
