Have you read the book "Practical mod_perl"?  That's often a good
starting point.  http://modperlbook.org/

For an extreme case, you can read the LiveJournal story:

You can also ready my story about eToys:

It sound like you're mostly looking for database scaling advice, so
you may want to check for presentations and papers related to your
database.  I know that the MySQL conference publishes lots of good
stuff every year.
