I might be too late to this game but here's my two cents. You don't need mod_perl to run .pl perl scripts. mod_cgi works just as well for most purposes and mod_perl only complicates matters. In fact, the original way to run any Perl scripts was mod_cgi which just executes the Perl script like a normal program (a la CGI). mod_perl is not the same concept that mod_php is for PHP. mod_cgi is a stock Apache module and should come with Apache 2.4 even if mod_perl has not caught up yet. The key is to set up the appropriate AddHandler/SetHandler directive to make *.pl files a cgi program for mod_cgi. mod_perl is more for very specialized uses of Perl where Perl needs a deep connection with Apache or very high performance. > > You may have to downgrade to apache-2.2 and then build/install mod_perl > or try bleeding edge mod_perl from SVN.
