Not exactly perl-mod.el related, but these snippets in your .emacs
should work with any similar package:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.elisp"))

Put perl-mod.el inside ~/.elisp, then add also:

(if (load "perl-mod" 't)
    (setq
     auto-mode-alist
     (cons '("\\.pl$" . post-mode) auto-mode-alist)))

If later you byte-compile perl-mod, then instead this will use the
faster-loading resulting .elc file.

EmacsWiki is your friend!
