If you want to enable perl scripts for everyone, here's the httpd.conf
directive to do it (assuming mod_perl, if you're not using mod perl then
you just need to enable the ExecCGI option for the directories you want
them able to run in).

# If mod_perl is installed, then enable it for use.
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
  <Files *.pl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options ExecCGI
  </Files>
</IfModule>
