in reply to Apache Perl CGI and VirtualHosts

It is most likely an issue with the ErrorLog and/or CustomLog directives within your Apache VirtualHost.   If you could please reply with a (sanitized) version of that virtual-host config, we can probably identify the problem immediately.

    Here is the VHost configuration that I'm using. The apache default error log is... well, error_log I'm actually using another error log and still not outputing to its own. 
    <VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:443>
    ServerName privatedomain.com:443
    DocumentRoot "/opt/apache/secure-htdocs"
    DirectoryIndex index.phtml index.php index.html index.htm
    ErrorLog    /opt/apache/logs/privatedomain.com_error_log
    TransferLog /opt/apache/logs/privatedomain.com_access_log

    #### SSL Settings
    SSLEngine On
    SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
    SSLCertificateFile    /opt/apache/conf/ssl.crt/privatedomain.com.c
+rt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /opt/apache/conf/ssl.key/privatedomain.com.k
+ey
    SSLCACertificatePath  /opt/apache/conf/ssl.crt
    SSLCACertificateFile  /opt/apache/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
    SSLCipherSuite !ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+E
+XP:+eNULL

    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
         nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

    <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|pl|shtml|php|phtml|php3?)$">
        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    </FilesMatch>

    <Directory "/opt/apache/secure-htdocs">
        Options All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/apache/secure-cgi-bin/

         AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Options
         Order Allow,Deny
         Allow from All
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>
