I've had to use this code to get mod_perl working with perl scripts on
my Apache 2 server:
<Location [location here]>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
Read this:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html#Registry_Scripts
which I found on this page:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html
in the "Enabling mod_perl" section.
Good luck!
Peace...
