Needfurther help on MP2 config.

I'm sorry, but i just cannot comprehend the doc or Doug's book
explanation on how to further configure Apache to load any custom perl
modules I might add.
I dropped a perl dir under apache2:  /usr/local/apache2/lib/perl/Apache
per Doug's direction  (from "Apache Modules..." p. 28). I don't believe I
have a perl startup file. Or do i? And where do I place the "PerlSetEnv"
directive? In httpd.conf? I cannot seem to make sense between the online
doc and the book's direction. No criticism to the authors, I'm just a bit
slow. I would like to pace myself learning how to build and implement my
own perl and c modules with mod_perl as advocated by Steve and Doug.

My testbed includes Apache 2.043: mod_perl(1.99_08): perl 5.8 on linux.
If someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. 


Benjamin
