Is it possible to restart Apache from a perl script (executed by Apache) ?
I tried to send a Kill system command with no success.
Any idea ?

It's like a suicide ?
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.

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)

Try writing a script which does it - eg.
#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/apache restart
put that somewhere and make it setuid root, then in your perl code call
