CGI module or Apache

[Kevin Schroeder]

Hello,     I've been using the CGI PERL module for a while now and I like using it a lot.  But I was wondering if using that module with mod_perl will slow things down because of the extra module being used.  If so, is there a way to use the Apache API and mod_perl to deal with form submissions, cookies and the like?  You'll have to forgive me, I've been learning mod_perl off of the cheat sheet at refcards.com.   Kevin Schroeder
