Background
mod_perl is an Apache module that greatly speeds up Perl
CGI applications by pre-loading the Perl interpreter and compiling Perl scripts only once - it can be used with TWiki with no code changes. It is already used by some TWiki sites on both Unix/Linux and Windows. For more background, see
http://perl.apache.org/. See also
ModPerlProxied for configuration with the Advanced Extranet Server. (
http://www.advx.org).

For cookbook guides to setting up
mod_perl see
ModPerlUnix or
ModPerlWindows/WindowsModPerlInstallCookbook. Some detail mentioned in either may apply to the other environment as well. If you have trouble, read both topics. See also
SelectiveModPerl for instructions on how to enable mod_perl for only certain scripts.
