The section you are referring to above actually re-writes the 
httpd.conf file as it is being read by apache.  

Basically, as apache reads the configuration, the perl section adds a 
ssl section to for each virtual host, based upon the individual 
configuration of that host.  

If you add the modifications here, they will affect every virtual 
host on the server, no matter which type of request is made (.asp , 
.php , .html etc...)  

The first time I came across this cobaltism, I was also confused.  

Hope this helps
