Most of the sites that I produce have a lot of static content and just a
few dynamic pages and the exceptions are nearly 100% routed through
mod_perl, whichis fairly easy. I don't use mod_rewrite for the former, the
following suffices:

ProxyPass         /mperl/ http://www.url.net:8000/mperl/
ProxyPassReverse  /mperl/ http://www.url.net:8000/mperl/

Then anything that's accessed under /mperl is treated by the mod_perl
backend. For the latter I use various combinations of FileMatch or
mod_rewrite depending on the setup. It's usually fairly simple.

It's quite a good guide but it has to get one's head spinning. Remember the
first time you read about Perl regexes :)
