Try using Ask Jeeves or another knowledge base site to find information on mod_perl.
Quote:
mod_perl is a Perl module that enables you to embed a Perl interpreter within the Apache web server. (Detailed discussion of Perl, Apache or web servers is generally beyond the scope of this document. Browse LINKS for general information.)
Embedding the interpreter allows you to write Apache handlers or modules entirely in Perl. You can even configure the server using Perl code. And all existing modules on CPAN (or elsewhere) are available to you during this process.
Also, mod_perl can greatly increase the speed of pages dynamically created by CGI scripts or other means.
