What do you get if you cross Perl CGI with Mod-PHP?

One possibility is mod_perlite, an Apache module that aims to make Perl as easy as PHP for users to deploy and for service providers to host.

I love mod_perl and use it every day, but the fact is that most web hosts don't give their customers access to it, precisely because it is so powerful (and complex). But old-school CGI scripts with their fork-and-exec model are slow and resource intensive. This has left an opening into which PHP has stepped as the "upload your files and you're done" language for web development.

The JAPHs over at modperlite.org are looking for some help. If you know your way around Perl and/or Apache internals, or are looking for an excuse to learn, they would love to hear from you. Go "git" the code, join the group, and lend a hand!
