You probably need to start at the beginning.  We don't know what version 
of apache you are using, whether or not mod_perl is installed, and what 
version you are using.  We don't know how the .pm files are coded (to 
run as Registry scripts or as mod_perl handlers).  It is also important 
to describe how you are configuring apache.  If things aren't working, 
then it is worthwhile describing how they are not working, including 
looking at the error log. 

Before moving forward, it is definitely worth a look at the 
documentation for mod_perl:
