You need to set the handler for .cgi files in the freeside document tree
to perl-script, and set the PerlHandler to Apache::Registry, i.e. inside
the <Directory> section for freeside:

	#old #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
	AddHandler perl-script .cgi
	PerlHandler Apache::Registry

You can preload modules with PerlModule or PerlRequire as per the mod_perl
documentation.  Since modules are cached after the first time they're
used, the performance gain of preloading them will only be the first
few hits to a newly-started server, at the cost of some memory.
