A Note on mod_perl
The mod_perl Apache
module moves the processing of Perl scripts into the Apache web server
itself. This has two advantages. First, it’s more efficient, because
the Perl interpreter doesn’t need to be started each time a script is
called. Second, you don’t need to include the path to the Perl
interpreter on an initial #! line
at the top of each file.
We won’t go into the details of mod_perl here, but we recommend you use it
for any production site that uses Perl CGI scripts running on an
Apache web server. You can find more information on this at perl.apache.org and in particular
on the http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html
web page.
