well, i changed the modperl.site.conf (that's loaded by the main httpd.conf via Include this morning to read as such: 
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /home/httpd/website.com/libs

PerlModule RemoteAuthentication
PerlSetVar websitePath /testMemberArea/
PerlSetVar websiteLoginScript /apps/login.pl
PerlSetVar websiteDomain .website.com
PerlSetVar websiteExpires +1h

[download]
and the VH.conf to read: 
## These documents require user to be logged in.
<Directory /home/httpd/website.com/html/testMemberArea>
 AuthType RemoteAuthentication
 AuthName website
 PerlAuthenHandler RemoteAuthentication->authenticate
 PerlAuthzHandler RemoteAuthentication->authorize
 require valid-user
</Directory>

[download]
and that looks right to me, but i still get: 
 sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl configtest

Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/httpd/conf/VH/modperl.website.com:

i've tried things like: 
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB PERL5LIB:/home/httpd/website.com/libs

[download]
to no avail ...
