If you have Apache 2 that means you (or someone else on that machine) 
installed it. Apache 2 does not come with OS X. If you installed it you 
probably know where you installed it.

yup... that is where it is installed. Except it depends on many other 
parts that are scattered here and there. For example, /etc/httpd/ 
contains the conf files, at least in the stock apache install. Search 
for httpd.conf. Open it in a text editor and you will see where 
everything is installed.

Alternatively, find httpd (the actual program, the http daemon) and do a 
'httpd -V' on it get all manner of info on your apache.

use sudo... for example, % sudo mkdir somedir

sudo will prompt you for your password, and will remain valid for a few 
minutes.

yes, but you will have to activate .pl extension for cgi in your 
httpd.conf file.

yes, go to www.macdevcenter.org and read all 5 or so excellent articles 
by Kevin Hemenway on this subject. He goes by the name Morbus, so the 
author may be listed as Morbus.

Also, read the articles on developer.apple.com/internet
