With
mod_perl it is possible to write
Apache modules entirely in
Perl. In addition, the
persistent interpreter embedded in the
server avoids the
overhead of starting an external interpreter and the penalty of Perl start-up time. As usual
O'Reilly has a book
Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C (www.modperl.com) that may help.
