The easiest way to confirm that mod_perl is installed and working is
probably to activate the /perl-status location. You'll find it
commented out in /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf. Just uncomment it,
change the Deny and Allow directives as appropriate and restart
Apache.

Then if you visit /perl-status on your server, you'll get lots of
information about your mod_perl installation.
