+<h1>mod_perl is the marriage of Apache and Perl</h1>
+
+mod_perl brings together two of the most powerful and mature
+technologies available to the web professional today.
+
+<br><br>
+
+Simply <a href="../download/">install</a> mod_perl
+and you have the <b>full power</b> of the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org">Apache Web Server</a>
+at your fingertips:
+
+
+<blockquote>
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Accelerate your existing dynamic content</b>
+ <blockquote>
+
+ The standard Apache::Registry module can provide 100x speedups for your
+ existing CGI scripts and reduce the load on your server at the same
+ time. A few changes to the web server's config is all that is required
+ to run your existing CGI scripts at lightning speed.
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Easily create custom modules that become part of Apache</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ With the power of Perl, writing custom modules to extend and
+ enhance Apache is a snap. Content handlers can be written just
+ a few lines of code and can be quickly integrated with existing
+ modules specifically designed for use with mod_perl, or with
+ modules freely available from the <a href="http://cpan.org">CPAN</a>.
+ </blockquote>
+
+
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Gain access to <em>all</em> request stages</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ mod_perl is not only about super fast content generation.
+ With mod_perl all phases of the request cycle can be accessed
+ and controlled. No other web acceleration product gives you this
+ much control.
+
+ <br><br>
+ Imagine the power of mod_rewrite combined with the power of Perl!
+ Rewrite URLs based on the content of a directory structure, settings
+ stored in a relational database, or the phase of the moon.
+
+ <br><br>
+ Write custom authentication and authorization modules to integrate with
+ existing user databases or take advantage of the well-supported CPAN
+ modules to extend the abilities of Apache. You can even create custom
+ logging tailored to your site's specific needs.
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Configure Apache with Perl</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ Perl can be used right in your httpd.conf file. Apache can be dynamically
+ configured during startup. Everything from virtual hosts to authentication
+ settings can be configured via Perl. URL translation logic can be added right
+ in your httpd.conf file. Settings can be adjusted on a per-request basis and
+ values passed from code in httpd.conf to your content generation modules.
+ You can even generate complete HTTP output from the httpd.conf configuration file.
+ </blockquote>
+
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Install Third-party modules</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ Third-party modules give you application functionality such as
+ <b>sessions</b>, <b>passwords</b> and <b>database integration</b>.
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Application Frameworks</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ There are many high-level packages built on top of the mod_perl infrastructure
+ to help you develop scalable and easily managed dynamic sites.
+ All are well supported and maintain a loyal group of users.
+ <br><br>
+ You can select from a number of templating systems or application frameworks
+ for use with mod_perl.
+ See the mod_perl <a href="../products/app-server.html">Products</a> section for more
+ information.
+ </blockquote>
+
+
+ <br><br>
+
+ <b>Apache 2.0 support</b>
+ <blockquote>
+ With mod_perl you can take advantage of the features of Apache 2.0.
+ For example, custom protocol handlers can be written in Perl.
+ </blockquote>
