Take a look at the Apache User and the Group Directive. I believe this will do what you are looking for.

    This isn't actually a perl question, but I'll bite. There are a few ways of doing this, modern Apache comes with suEXEC. There are also third-party modules to accomplish similar things with wider scope (eg; for static content as well, beware that for the latter you have to compile Apache with -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE and run it as root).
