Thanks! Just to be clear, these look like the relevant lines:

apachectl restart
You probably know this already, but just for the sake of the archives - all this does is enable the module to load. You'll also need to configure the handlers you need - for instance, to specify a /cgi- registry directory that uses Apache::Registry:
Alias /cgi-registry/ /Library/WebServer/CGI-Registry/
<Location /cgi-registry>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader on
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>That's good enough for a developer's desktop machine, but high- traffic production servers usually run a separate instance of Apache that's especially tuned for mod_perl. This instance runs on a "high" (>1024) port; the "main" server on port 80 serves static content directly, and acts as a proxy for requests to /cgi-registry, forwarding them to the mod_perl server.
