Setting up Apache2 with mod_perl and Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP

Forgive me if this is double posted. I posted yesterday after a long hiatus of posting anything to the Cygwin Mailing list and it didn't seem to show up so I'm trying again. If anybody sees this then a quick email to adefaria@audience.com saying you saw it would clear that up.
I've been working mainly on Linux boxes and haven't had to dig in to Cygwin deeply for a while. But I have a question or two again. I could just switch to a Linux server but I figured I'd try my Windows laptop first.
Goal: Set up Apache2 on my Windows laptop with mod_perl working as well as Apache2::AuthCookieLDAP and write an example login page that authenticates to Active Directory using AuthCookieLDAP.
First problem (minor): I can't figure out how to install Apache2 as a Windows service. For now I can just do apachectl2 start but would like to configure it as a real service. I've tried:
Adefaria-lt:cygrunsrv -I httpd2 -d 'CYGWIN Apache2' -p /usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -a '-DNO_DETACH' 
Adefaria-lt:net start httpd2
The CYGWIN Apache2 service is starting.
The CYGWIN Apache2 service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

Second problem: Perl CGI scripts do not execute but just display even though AddHandler is configured in Apache: 

Adefaria-lt:grep -i 'addhandler cgi-script' /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Adefaria-lt:cat ~/web/test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;
Adefaria-lt:
When I go to test.pl it just gets printed as the web page. Note that PHP is working and if I go to phpinfo.php it works just fine... 

Third problem: mod_perl2 doesn't seem to want to install:
