+Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server
+so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.
+
+Mod_perl links the Perl runtime library into the Apache web server
+and provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C
+language API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround
+process, since no external Perl interpreter has to be started.
