Hi, I need help configure my Apache with mod_perl.

I have just installed mod_perl on via sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-perl2 on Ubuntu 18. I am having a hard time figuring out what the next steps our to test perl script. I am looking at https://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html and trying to understand what would go in my virtual hosts file and what else I need to configure to get perl script working for Apach24 setup.

I've tried a few virtual host directives such as the one found here (with my own settings), but with no luck: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Apache_HTTP_Server/mod_perl

<VirtualHost perlwebtest:80>
    Servername perlwebtest
    DocumentRoot /srv/http/perlwebtest
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/perlwebtest-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/perlwebtest-access.log combined
    <Directory /srv/http/perlwebtest>
        AddHandler perl-script .pl
        PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
        Options +ExecCGI
        PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Currently, its not rending any of Perl Script. I feel like I've missed an obvious step. Any ideas of what I should try next?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
