I can only offer a guess, but I'm sure the experts will follow-up
if I'm wrong. I don't use ActiveState and mod_perl, but it looks like
this file is the startup script that will be run when a new Apache
child is born. It is used to preload modules and set up your environment
(eg, you can modify @INC there). You should find this setting in the
httpd.conf under
Perlrequire /path/startup.pl
If you don't need a startup script, you can safely comment this line
out, or you can write a short script yourself where you just 'use'
the modules you're going to need. The Guide knows more about that:
