In the httpd.conf file there will be a whole bunch of commented-out lines that start:

#LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
[download]

where foo is something like proxy, digest, usertrack etc. At the end of this list add the line:

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
[download]

In the section after that you'll see something like:

ClearModuleList
...
AddModule mod_foo.c
...
[download]

add the following line to the end of the list:

AddModule mod_perl.c
[download]

Note: the capitalisation is important. You should have a working mod_perl installation after this.

When your Apache server starts you should see somthing like:

Apache/1.3.26 (Win32) mod_perl/1.27_01-dev running...
[download]

I'll update my original instructions appropriately so that the next monk who wanders along with a mod_perl/win32 install problem doesn't have to go through all of your frustrations.

BTW, you're welcome.
