The point of that is to restart apache from a web adress like http://my_server/restart (after authentification) The function : kill -USR1 apache_pid do that extremly well but apache doesn't have the rights to launch it from perl ! (because the ppid of apache is launched by root)

If you kill Apache, you kill yourself. Probably, you can create a detached process from your script that will be in charge of making the stuff. Take care about OS you are running perl on to do this.
