Sure, they're C data structures becasue the perl interepreter is
written in C, but your original post makes it sound like they turn
into C code which presumably would get compiled to machine code like
other C code does.  Again, it's not an important distinction.  I just
didn't want it to sound like mod_perl does something magical that
differs from the normal perl interpreter behavior.
