So you didn't see any of the environment variables such as gateway interface or server software? If that's the case then you might have your environment setup incorrectly.

I had purchased the "Oreilly Practical Mod_Perl" which helped immensely. Here is some of my httpd.conf referring to this subject. The last section is what you need to pay attention to I believe: 
# MOD_Perl Section
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/perllibrary">
        AllowOverride None
        Options ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from All
</Directory>
                                                                      
+                                               
        ScriptAlias /perl/ "/usr/local/apache/perllibrary/"
                                                                      
+                                               
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
                                                                      
+                                               
        PerlRequire "/usr/local/apache/perllibrary/startup.pl"
                                                                      
+                                               
<Location /perl>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Registry
        PerlSendHeader On
</Location>

Basically the startup.pl includes which modules I want to include and a couple of additional libraries I wanted to add. Stuff that we wrote for our application. The last part is what you need to pay attention to. If you don't have your environment setup properly then it won't work.

NOTE: I'm not an expert in the use of Mod_Perl. Never used it until just a few weeks ago. I know that I was able to (finally) get it working just fine. Running the test script provided proof that mod_perl was loaded and running. If you don't see the server software or mod_perl version then it's defintely not loading.

If it's still not working please post your setup. The section dealing with your /perl location specifically. (hope I didn't confuse you with all this. I'm still learning myself ::grinz::)
