Uhm, why don't you figure out what you're talking about before you spout off incorrect crap.
Mod_Perl does *EXACTLY* what he wants, but *IS NOT* CGI. It is not a tool to "embed" perl into html pages, it CAN be used to do that, but is one of those insanely powerful things.
In fact, mod_perl is used to build some extremely hard hit dynamic sites out there, where using CGI is impractical. Think of it something like a persistant script always running (i.e. if I say, increase a global variable $blah++, then the next visitor will be able to see that increase immediate, without any disk writing).
You need to code specificially for mod_perl though. I repeat, it's NOT CGI. CGI is just a spec as to how applications talk to a webserver, mod_perl is a perl interpreter directly compiled into the webserver (so to speak). It's also not easy to code correctly for mod_perl either, there are very few gurus in this area out in the world, I'd venture to say less than 100.
Figures on GFY someone would akin mod_perl to PHP. Go figure.
I'm not all too familiar with FastCGI, but from what I recall is it not just a means to cache things in memory? Shrug. It will probably help out, and be the easiest to use.
