Personally I'd opt for using FastCGI rather than mod_perl so as not to 
be locked into Apache. If you are after speed then a light weight web 
server such as Lighttpd + FastCGI will out perform Apache+mod_perl.

Of course you could use Apache + FastCGI, or even IIS + FastCGI since 
Microsoft have released a FastCGI library for IIS 5.1, 6 & 7.

+ a load more web servers support FastCGI.

Just my view, it's nice to keep your options open ;)
