The only thing I can answer here is ${r|s}->add_config excepts a list of 
strings. You can concatenate these strings in mind and think of that file as 
being included in httpd.conf.

That means you can even write

$s->add_config([
    '<Location /fritz>',
      'SetHandler server-status',
    '</Location>',
  ]);

Similarly it should be possible to add those 4 lines you mentioned. But that 
is for modperl2. Apache::ReadConfig smells of modperl1.
