This configuration enables the Apache::Status module with its minimum feature set. Add this to httpd.conf:

<Location /perl-status>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Status
</Location>

If you are going to use Apache::Status it's important to put it as the first module in the startup file, or in httpd.conf:

# startup.pl
use Apache::Status ( );
use Apache::Registry ( );
use Apache::DBI ( );

For example, if you use Apache::DBI and you don't load Apache::Status before Apache::DBI, you will not get the Apache::DBI menu entry (which allows you to see persistent connections).
