There is not much to learn from the user side. Well-behaved Perl tends
to run under mod_perl with no modifications. From the admin side,
mod_perl is almost as easy. There are a few things that can trip you
up if you are trying to get fancy, but by and large, it is pretty easy
to get running.

Well, the *main* advantage that mod_perl offers is that you only have
to pay the startup cost of the Perl interpreter itself once per Apache
child (I wonder how it works with the threaded workers in Apache 2?
Anyone know?). But yes, initialising a large data structure only once
per child will also help you.
