Thanks for your thoughts hyper. I could get mod_perl working but when it was running, images in all folders uner /public_html were showing up dead. However after searching some more in the forum I found a solution from a link to http://perl.apache.org/..._FilesE_gt__Sections
to have mod perl (1) and not lose image permissions by adding this to my virtual server in httpd.conf:
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|pl)$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>
I guess what this means is that files that extensions are .cgi or .pl "hey use mod_perl on these file types". Thats from a dummy perspective.
