modperl not working

[Jacob Everist <je...@fairtunes.com>]

I'm getting this error while running Apache:
[jeverist@server1 bin]$ ./httpd 
Syntax error on line 952 of /home/jeverist/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '<perl>', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration

But modperl shows up here:

[jeverist@server1 bin]$ ./httpd -l 
Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_setenvif.c
  mod_perl.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /home/jeverist/local/apache/bin/suexec
[jeverist@server1 bin]$ 

Could the invalid wrapper have anything to do with this?  I don't even
know what this means.

Can anyone tell me why Apache won't run <perl> statements?

I'm not sure whether <perl> is the same as <Perl> (the right way) if
Apache is case-insensitive about all the variables. So try <Perl> as it
explained in the docs.

It's possible that you are missing the right build option:

  perl Makefile.PL PERL_SECTIONS=1 

or

  perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1

Hope this helps.
