This:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/socache_dbm.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/socache_memcache.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/socache_shmcb.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/usertrack.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load
means you don't understand that mechanism.
Keep all the files in mods-available. Create symlinks to them
from mods-enabled when you want them to take effect.
Same approach goes for site-enabled/available and
conf-enabled/available.
Anyway: you need a perl module to run perl CGI:
libapache2-mod-perl2
and you need to enable CGI in each directory that you want it
in via something like
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Require all granted
</Directory>
Jumping from Debian 4 to Debian 9 is really big; among other
things, you definitely went from a 1.x series Apache to a 2.4
series Apache.
