I've never used Apache::PerlRun to run old CGI scripts, always used
Apache::Registry so this might work for you - YMMV

Alias /cgi-perl /home/whatever/cgi-bin
<Location /cgi-perl>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
</Location>

Then call scripts as /cgi-perl/yourscript.cgi instead of /cgi-bin/yourscript.cgi

As I said, your mileage may vary - I've always had good success with it, but
a script that's not so nicely written can (and probably will) suck up memory
or cause other "interesting" problems.
