Dear Friends,
I am running Apache 2.4.62 on an AlmaLinux 9.6 VPS and have a problem
with running perl scripts in apache.
If I leave /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf as default:
LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
no perl file in apache executes.
If I change to this:
#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
Perl files executes as normal, but this time WordPress can't write to
its own directories.
By the way, all WordPress directories/files are owned by apache and
chmod 755/644, respectively. httpd and php-fpm are run by apache user.
I got support of a freelancer for this issue. She fixed it somehow
albeit not in a perfect way to me. She installed Ngix working on port
8080 alongside Apache. Setup perl socket on Nginx. Configured Nginx as
proxy for Apache. So, perl is being handled only by Nginx. All the
normal web server jobs are handled by Apache. 00-mpm.conf stays as
default (event).
This way, perl scripts are handled by nginx, all the other web server
jobs by Apache. This is a complicated solution for me.
Is there a way for Apache to handle web server jobs and also perl
scripts? How can I fix this problem without resorting to Nginx for perl
scripts?
Thank you.

MPM modules are multiprocess modules for apache to run in a a threaded
model and such, they have nothing to do with running perl scripts.
You will probably need mod_cgid and additional configuration to run perl
scripts.
Make a stop at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html and
check the examples and guidance there.
Once you get to run the typical hello world script you may focus on
larger things and security.
