You can leave the default httpd.conf alone.  Here's a working 
Apache2/mod_perl2 config from a production win32 box I have.

At the bottom of httpd.conf, add:

NameVirtualHost *:80
Include conf/MyApp.conf

Create MyApp.conf in your Apache conf dir, it looks like:
--
<Perl>
     use lib qw(D:/Web/MyApp/lib);
</Perl>
PerlLoadModule MyApp

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName whatever.yourdomain.com

     DocumentRoot D:/Web/MyApp/root

     <Location />
         SetHandler modperl
         PerlResponseHandler MyApp
     </Location>

     <LocationMatch "/(static|favicon.ico)">
         SetHandler default-handler
     </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>
--

That's it. :)
