You're looking at "log_server_status.in" which is meant to be processed
by GNU autoconf to generate the actual log_server_status file. All of
those @foo@ templates are placeholders that autoconf will replace with
other values. (It's not just the shebang -- there are more.)
So, I guess copying it out of the source tree might have been a naive
suggestion. You'll at least have to run the ./configure script in a way
that matches how the Debian package is built, and then probably build
most, or all, of Apache itself, in order to get a working perl script.
(Either that, or perform all of the substitutions by hand.)
