First you should determine whether mod_perl will actually help. mod_perl is helpful when you've got a LOT of requests coming in for a resource, and each of those requests result in a process being spawned, and this process start/stop cycle can take up a lot of resources. If this is the case, mod_perl can help (you're having resource issues because you have too many requests coming in).
However, if your perl script is taking up resources because it's doing something resource-intensive, likely mod_perl won't help. For example, if it's only accessed occasionally and if it's taking an hour to run and pegging the cpu/disk/memory/whatever because it's processing a huge file, mod_perl won't help.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
