Should not be necessary. At least I didn't have to make any changes in the loading of the config files to make it work.

It's not necessary to reboot. Just do a

apache-ssl -k restart -f /etc/frontview/httpd.conf

Since the file needs to be executable by the user the web server is running as, you should make that so immediately:

chmod 755 test.pl

Saves you the hassle of testing first, failing, and then changing the permissions anyway ;)
