Adding to this (which works for me too), here are some
default values (from RHEL) for configs and web root:

  main configs - /etc/httpd/conf/
  for merged configs- /etc/httpd/conf.d/
  apache2 daemon name = httpd
  web root - /var/www/html/

  mod_perl config - /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf

  note that there is no default mod_perl startup
script!
