I agree with RonW in that it is likely to be impossible FAPP. However, there are a number of alternative strategies which you could employ:

• Don't load any modules at server start. If server start-up time is more important to you than the response time of an initial request then just don't bother with all this preloading.
• Don't load all the modules, just the lighter and more frequently-used ones. This is the compromise option.
• Don't keep stopping and starting the server. Just let it run and use Apache2::Reload to pick up code changes.
• Live with it. How long does it take anyway? 3 seconds? 5? If more than that there may be other issues at play which you haven't disclosed. Apache (even with mod_perl2) isn't JBoss - it should only take a few seconds at most to start up.
