I am not very good with apache but I need
to get a webserver working with perl on Debian.

I have the following 3 packages installed:
ii apache-perl 1.3.27-0.1-1.27-3-1 Versatile,high-performance HTTP server with added Perl support
ii perl 5.8.0-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language.
ii libapache-mod-perl 1.27-4 Integration of perl with the Apache web server

The apache-perl package states:
 Description: Versatile, high-performance HTTP server with added
Perl support This version of Apache contains the mod_perl module statically linked.

I can't load any index.pl pages on the server.
What else do I need to do?
What does statically linked mean?
Do I need to add this line to httpd.conf?
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so

This was already in my httpd.conf but not sure what it means:

# If the perl module is installed, this will be enabled.
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
  Alias /perl/ /var/www/perl/
  <Location /perl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
  </Location>
</IfModule>

I am an apache novice so any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
