I am not able to find out if there is a way to pass to PerlModule directive the functions and/or parameters

PerlModule site:perl.apache.org -> http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlModule_ 

  PerlModule Foo::Bar

[download]
is equivalent to Perl's: 
  require Foo::Bar;

PerlModule is used to load modules using their package names.

See also: PerlRequire.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlRequire_

PerlRequire does the same thing as PerlPostConfigRequire, but you have almost no control of when this code is going to be executed. Therefore you should be using either PerlConfigRequire (executes immediately) or PerlPostConfigRequire (executes just before the end of the server startup) instead. Most of the time you want to use the latter.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPostConfigRequire_ 

  PerlPostConfigRequire /home/httpd/perl/lib/startup.pl

[download]
is equivalent to Perl's: 
  require "/home/httpd/perl/lib/startup.pl";

[download]

Looking at my current apache2/mod_perl2 config, I see I'm using 

PerlRequire "...startup.pl"

[download]
just as http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#PerlModule_and_PerlRequire_Directives recommends. This is not ideal for apache2 as http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/server.html#When_Does_perl_Start_To_Run explains.

Use  PerlRequire   "...startup.pl" for Apache1/mod_perl-1

Use  PerlPostConfigRequire "...startup.pl" for Apache2/mod_perl-2
