Using mod_ssl and client certificates

We are moving to client certificates for authentication on our
internal web sites.  So far, we use a rather crude scheme
(all-or-nothing), but we would like to differentiate between clients
in the future.

Is there are straightforward way to integrate certificate-based
authentication and mod_perl, i.e. access information on the client
certificate from mod_perl?  A moderate performance hit is acceptable
because it's for our internal sites only.

Thanks,
