I'd recommend you use the command line args to work out what an apache
or httpd binary supports.
IE:
apache -V  will tell you where it gets its conf files by default
apache -L |grep LoadModule will output 'LoadModule (mod_so.c)' if it
supports a dynamic mod_perl
apache -l | grep -i perl should output something if mod_perl is
statically linked
apache -h or man apache will explain these and more options

As you may have noticed the apache binary is sometimes named httpd.
For example you may want to run:
/usr/sbin/httpd -l | grep -i perl
or something similar.

The extra .conf s and the .so s are harmless but may be a nuisance.
