Perl problem

Dear Friends,

I am running Apache 2.4.62 on an AlmaLinux 9.6 VPS and have a problem 
with running perl scripts in apache.

If I leave /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf as default:

LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

no perl file in apache executes.

If I change to this:

#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Perl files executes as normal, but this time WordPress can't write to 
its own directories.

By the way, all WordPress directories/files are owned by apache and 
chmod 755/644, respectively. httpd and php-fpm are run by apache user.

I got support of a freelancer for this issue. She fixed it somehow 
albeit not in a perfect way to me. She installed Ngix working on port 
8080 alongside Apache. Setup perl socket on Nginx. Configured Nginx as 
proxy for Apache. So, perl is being handled only by Nginx. All the 
normal web server jobs are handled by Apache. 00-mpm.conf stays as 
default (event).

This way, perl scripts are handled by nginx, all the other web server 
jobs by Apache. This is a complicated solution for me.

Is there a way for Apache to handle web server jobs and also perl 
scripts? How can I fix this problem without resorting to Nginx for perl 
scripts?

Thank you.
