I'd like to point out that this is really the only way to run mod_perl
apps.  If you are using the same Apache process for more than one web
app, You're Doing It Wrong (tm).  This is why people like FastCGI;
it's much easier to setup and maintain than multiple Apaches and
mod_perls.  

However, if you use backend mod_perl Apaches (instead of FastCGI), you
can use Perlbal as the frontend (without another Apache in the way),
which I find to be enticing.  (However, you can also just point
Perlbal at the "dev server", which is pretty convenient.)
