I wanted to follow up and say that while below seemed to be a solution, it seems to have been a fluke as my attempt to replicate has unfortunately not been successful. I wanted to go back in enable the mod_ssl and so I repeated the exact steps, though without success. I have no idea why the one attempt seems to have proceeded fine.

I then checked with 'httpd -l' and mod_perl.c was listed in the built in module list. I am trying to test the now running web service to see if everything functions.
