Forgive my ignorance, I thought you had to have mod-perl installed and running to run perl cgi scripts.
No, they are totally separate things. CGI is a language-independent way of running dynamic programs from a web server that nearly all servers support. The apache implementation is called mod_cgi. mod_perl is an apache module that embeds a perl interpreter into the web server. It provides much better performance than running perl scripts through CGI and gives you access to the apache API.
