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 is more than CGI scripting on steroids. It is a whole new way to create dynamic content by utilizing the full power of the Apache web server to create stateful sessions, customized user authentication systems, smart proxies and much more. Yet, magically, your old CGI scripts will continue to work and work very fast indeed. With mod_perl you give up nothing and gain so much!
-- Lincoln Stein
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 systems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.
mod_perl is an Apache Software Foundation project. It is licensed under the Apache Software License.

- Reporting Bugs
- Before a bug can be solved, developers need to be able to reproduce it. Users need to provide all the relevant information that may assist in reproducing the bug. However it's hard to know what information needs to be supplied in the bug report. In order to speed up the information retrieval process, we wrote the guidelines explaining exactly what information is expected. Usually, the better the bug report is the sooner it's going to be reproduced and therefore fixed.
