Peter, there are two problems:
1. you misread the usage explanations
It cannot be:
$Directory = { }
it must be:
%Directory = ().
Reread
http://modperl.com:9000/book/chapters/ch8.html#Configuring_Apache_with_Perl
again for the explanation. It seems that you've snipped the part from
the virtual host examples but didn't set the right type for Directory.
2. It seems that there is a bug in the code that handles the Files
sections when they are nested inside another section. I'll post a
separate report regarding this to the dev list.
here is a workaround that should solve your problem:
$Directory{'/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/capmon/'} = {
FilesMatch => {
'\.pl$' => {
'Options' => '+ExecCGI',
'SetHandler' => 'perl-script',
'PerlSendHeader' => 'On',
'PerlHandler' => 'Apache::Registry'
},
},
};
add 'PERL5LIB' etc...

This doc has been dissolved into various docs, spread across various
dirs, so it's impossible to add a rewrite rule. Hence the 404. I'll fix
the mailing list doc to reflect the reality. Thanks for the report.
Hopefully Google will catch up with the changes on the site soon.
