More precisely, the section : "Handler Modules"

The steps there are exactly what you need to do.

Look carefully at the example perl code.
- rename your script to "touch.pm"  (a convention, for mod_perl handler modules)
- change your script a bit, to resemble the example, with the

sub handler {
...
}
1;

That "1;" at the end is very important.
Also important is that your handler subroutine should return "OK" to Apache.

Also change
PerlPostReadRequestHandler touch.pl
to
PerlPostReadRequestHandler touch
