Help with configuration - Linux/Mandrake 7.2

[Rich Feather]

I'm trying to get my Apache Web Server to read *.pl files using mod_perl 
(standard Linux-Mandrake 7.2).  Under perl, it works fine and, indeed, in 
httpd-perl.conf, it shows 

        Alias perl /var/www/perl
        <Directory /var/www/perl>
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlHandler Apache::Registry
                PerlSendHeader On
                Options ExecCGI -Indexes
        </Directory>

Also, I've tried up the following

        <Directory /var/www/html>
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlHandler Apache::Registry
                PerlSendHeader On
                Options ExecCGI -Indexes
        </Directory>

and/or

        <Files *.pl>
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlHandler Apache::Registry
                Options ExecCGI
        </Files>

Restarted after each change
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

...but I cannot get the server to parse *.pl files using mod_perl.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
