[cgiapp] mod_perl and CGI::App

[Nate Hardt <suppressed>]

I have a few projects written with CGI::App right now. A couple of them 
are lower traffic sites but now a few of them are falling into the realm 
of performance intensive. I'd like to start using mod_perl for those 
sites. Someone said that CGI::App was written with mod_perl in mind, so 
I'm thinking this post is appropriate on this list.

The server that I'm using has an option to enable mod_perl. After 
checking that, I now have a perl directory in /var/www which I'm 
guessing is where my mod_perl scripts would go. If I put all the cgi 
scripts into that directory would I start to see performance 
enhancements? Would I have to change any of the code (assuming that I am 
currently cleaning up things properly, using strict, etc)? Would my 
module files stay loaded in memory or is it just the perl intrepreter?
From what I've read, it looks like I would have to load the modules 
with startup.pl or edit apache's config file to load my modules or maybe 
use Apache::Registry to keeps my scripts loaded in memory. I don't know, 
maybe this is more appropriate for the mod_perl list but if someone has 
taken the step of moving a CGI::App site from regular perl to mod_perl 
could you please point me in the right direction? I want to make sure 
I'm hitting the right lake before I jump in with both feet.

All feedback is appreciated, thanks,
Nate
