[WebGUI] preload.perl error

[Ken Johnson]

It looks like the only difference between this and the existing file is
my $parenthesis; instead of our $parenthesis
I did a wget and put the 6.2.11 file into place, but when I run
preload.perl again it gives a single error msg "GATEWAY_INTERFACE not
Perl!"

All in all I'm not sure what is going on with Perl here.  I can make the
file index.pl appear in the browser... it just lists the file as text.
So it doesn't appear that mod_perl is running correctly. 
When I do apachectl stop or restart (as in after changing the Macro.pl
file) I get the message "[warn] module perl_module is already loaded,
skipping"

So it sounds like mod_perl is running, but somehow it's not really in
step with apache (apache2 specifically).  We noticed that mod_perl
wasn't in the httpd.conf file!  This seemed odd given the above msg.

I did this Red Hat install for WebGUI, so all the basic needs should be
installed.
