Object detection on apache using perl

I want to approach web server programming.

What I did: On /my/ hosted Apache-Webserver, on Plesk I activated Perl.

What I want to do: I want to write a script which downloads a photo from
a given url and detects objects on it - in other words, I want
hough transformation, edge detection etc. - all to be done on the
apache-webserver.

Thing is I have experience in python but not in Perl.

Which sample codes dealt with a similar issue on an "a patchy" webserver
with Perl activated?

Take a look at Imager:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Imager

If you have questions about Imager, please take them to a general perl
site like perlmonks.org. If you're using perl as CGI, you can ask
about that there as well. If you want to use mod_perl, and have
questions about that, ask them here. There's plenty of documentation
to get you started on http://perl.apache.org/.

Which kind of permission do I need from my domain hoster for that?

For mod_perl? Just ask them if they support mod_perl. If they say
no, ask if they support FastCGI. Or, if you don't care much about the
speed, you can just go with CGI. Everyone has that.
