-The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power of

+mod_perl brings together the full power of the Perl programming language
+and the Apache HTTP server. You can use Perl to manage Apache, respond to
+requests for web pages and much more.
+
+mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web
+server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter
+and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast
+dynamic content.
+
+As you'd expect from the Perl community, there are hundreds of modules
+written for mod_perl, everything from persistent database connections, to
+templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like
+Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.
