Take a look at what the "experts" have to say on the issue.

Also, at

http://modperl.com:9000/ (Lincoln Stein's site)

mod_perl is much, much more than a wrap around, or extension to .cgi. Trying to compare the two, or what mod_perl *really* is, is almost silly. The end effect may *appear* to be the same, but how you got there, or what is going on, is *completely* different. It's actually a link into the Apache API. BTW... if one of your processes coredumps, be it Apache or Perl, you will loose the functionality other anyway. Think about it.
