Check this out:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/config.html#Apache_Configuration_in_Perl
at the end of the section...
You don't need perl sections to configure Apache in Perl, just declare the
Apache::ReadConfig package and do what you want... in Perl of
course... and call it from startup.pl or else... before the server is
started.
When you have some nice example working, make sure to shoot it my way to
be included in the guide :)
