---------------------
This config is what's working for me.
( This is typed, not cut'n paste, so please check for typos )
Hope it will help.

Edit httpd.conf
( After <Directory "/usr/local/www/data"></Directory> section)


######## Mod_Perl_SetUp ########
<Files ~ "\.pl$">
	Options +ExecCGI +Includes
	SetHandler perl-script
	PerlHandler Apache::Registry
	PerlSendHeader On
</Files>

<Directory /usr/local/www/data/zplash>
	<Files ~ "\.cgi">
		SetHandler perl-script
		PerlHandler Apache::Registry
		PerlSendHeader On
	</Files>
	AllowOverride None
	Options Indexes ExecCGI Includes
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

And to use SSI and CGI outside of ScriptAliased directories,
I have uncommended the following lines :

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
