[LUNI] Does Apache 2.0 need perl mod?

[Walter]

You don't need mod_perl to run perl, cgi, or perl cgi's.

I believe mod_perl can your scripts run faster by having a perl
interpreter running all the time, and various other things. Your script
might need to be changed though if you want to run it through mod_perl.

Perl cgi is not, as far as the webserver goes, distinctively different
from any other type of cgi.  So if you can run a cgi in Apache you
should be able to run a perl cgi.

I believe getting cgi's running in apache 2 is the basically the same as
in apache 1. In fact, most things seem to be just about the same in
apache 2.
