MacOS Apache2 Refuses to execute CGI perl Scripts

I use the MacBookPro to Program a major IT program written in Perl. For over 20 years I have use the Apache2 Web server to validate the CGI programs using the web server. I have followed to the letter, the documents created by "etresoft" on this forum. When trying to access the perl program (e.g. http://localhost/test.cgi), I only get the test file to display and the CGI does not execute. I have set for the directory

AddLanguage en .en

AddHandler perl-script .cgi .pl

PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry

Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

Require host localhost

MultiviewsMatch Any

I have made Sure that LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so is uncommented.

I need some error report system to see what it is doing. In Linux this is easy, but in looking through the line MacOS apache2, I am not sure how to add other error logs to evaluate this issue. In see nothing in messages except it starts. Another issue is I do not understand is "apachectl status" gives a strange message which does not work when I enable. This problem may be an issue with my settings in MacOS, as I have to enable something in the system in the older versions to share the web page. Can someone help me. Also, I am new to this forum, and may be naive about how to request help. Be kind😊
