A client's webserver appears to have both mod_perl and cgi configured for

A little later in the file, this is found:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Is the handler first defined used (mod_perl), or is mod_perl ignored,
running the script as a standard cgi? Commenting out the cgi-script
handler seems to have no effect, both in apache footprint or webserver
performance, so I suspect that mod_perl is being used here.
Am I correct in assuming this?
Since you don't provide the whole file it's hard to tell, since according
to the manual the later setting should take over the previous setting:
QUOTE
AddHandler maps the filename extensions extension to the handler
handler-name. This mapping is added to any already in force,
overriding any mappings that already exist for the same extension. For
example, to activate CGI scripts with the file extension .cgi,
you might use:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Once that has been put into your srm.conf or httpd.conf file, any file
containing the .cgi extension will be treated as a CGI program.

but this should answer all your questions:

(skip the error log testing section)
This machine is running apache 1.3.20, with mod_perl 1.25 compiled
statically (not a DSO).
