There's little to research.
If you look in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, you should see these lines, mixed
in with the other LoadModule and AddModule statements:
#LoadModule perl_module libexec/httpd/libperl.so
#AddModule mod_perl.c
Uncomment them and you now have a mod_perl enabled Apache:
LoadModule perl_module libexec/httpd/libperl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
The mod_perl on OSX is, for the most part, exactly the same as it is on
other versions of Unix: it can be flaky & fiddly, and there's a lot to
learn, but getting up & running with it on Unix (including OSX) is a
*lot* less painful than it would be on the Windows version of Apache.
Or at least, that has been my experience.
