How can i find the script that causes the problem?

Get the process id of running perl script and find the files opened by and users who are using it.

lsof -p <PID>
or
lsof -i 4 -a -p <PID>

Can i disable perl?

just take off the execute permission for other users, or set it to as mentioned below:

chmod 750 <perl path>

Where can i find guidlines of optimizing httpd.conf and php.ini ??
