True, it's very quick to install once you get the hang of it.  But let's
not _over_simplify: you _do_ have to tell Apache what URLs need to be
handled by mod_perl or it will just take up RAM and not do anything... :)

Once you have an Apache with mod_perl either (I would say preferably)
compiled in, or (I would say as a last resort) available as a loadable
module, all it takes to get mod_perl to do things for you is a simple
configuration directive or two in httpd.conf or your favourite Apache
configuration file.  Plus your Perl scripts of course.  It's all in
the documentation.
