If you want the speed of mod_event for static content and the power of mod_perl
for dynamic content - the best way is to run a lightweight mod_event apache in
front of a mod_prefork to run the mod_perl
tbh this is exactly the set up most people use for other heavy backends
(mod_fastcgi etc) but you still benefit from the power of mod_perl for your perl
I do this anyway as the mod_event bounces really quickly in comparison to the
heavier mod_worker client (especially if you pre-cache a lot of your perl) so
can handle "maintenance" events much better... Also all the stuff like SSL etc
is handled on the mod_event instance keeping the mod_worker instance clean..
It also allows you to run two apaches on a single box - a "test" and a "live"

thanks. that does sound sorry.
