Yes, I ran into this snafu with another project which prevented me from
easily upgrading the module to the latest version. It was a PITA.

Hmmm, this is an issue for me since I still run some of my scripts on
non-mod_perl enabled hosts. Is the core Petal code using
Parse::RecDescent yet or is it only your additions? If core Petal uses
Parse::RecDescent on occassion, we probably ought to document what
causes it to be invoked and how to avoid it if you're using Petal in
standalone scripts.
