I'm a little confused. If you're hosting in a shared environment, it's unlikely the provider will allow mod_perl.

If you're hosted on a dedicated server, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to edit httpd.conf

If it's a maintained box, you could create a directory for apache boot includes, eg: 

/home/username/apachestart

[download]
dump the startup file in there, then ask the ISP to add the line: 
Include /home/username/apachestart/*

[download]
to the httpd.conf file (I think that's the correct syntax).

Then add in Apache configuration directives as you see fit to call whatever you need at startup.

But, I have a feeling you're talking shared hosting, in which case you're out of luck :)
