Well, I also remembered mod_perl, and well, I just forgot to mention it in the OP.

However, from what little I did manage to gather from the documentation, it appeared to be a method of internal server scripting or a method to write server modules without going into C.

How does Apache know that some scripts are Perl, and others are, I dunno, python, bash, tcsh, or just about anything else somebody would be silly enough to mix in with Perl? Does it check the shebang?

I guess the main thing would be that I did not wish to rely on a single piece of software to have this work with. Though that is curable by a simple switcher script (if feature is available, use it, if not, don't use it)

Also, other than ye' ol' RTFM, what articles, places on the web, what have you, are there to learn about mod_perl? As maybe shown above, previous attempts left me... well not that decently knowledgable
