If you use less than 'strict' coding practices, your CGI script may
exhibit problems if run as an Apache::Registry script with no
modifications. I believe Apache::PerlRun is closer to what you describe.
Refer to the guide: http://perl.apache.org/guide/
and specifically: http://perl.apache.org/guide/porting.html

There are products which do this, like Velocigen's (for example). These
solutions may or may not be free and they do not have mod_perl's
flexibilty if you ever want to do more than Apache::Registry scripts. I
don't know about performance, but I can't see them being any faster.
