Perl 5.005 has experimetal thread support, Perl 5.006 might be stable
enought to really use it.
What ActiveState has done for IIS, is to pack the Perlinterpreter in a
single C++ object (compile Perl with PERL_OBJECT) and now every request can
get his own private Perlinterpreter. This model (maybe a pool of
Perlinterpreters) may also work for mod_perl. Jochen Wiedman already has
done some work on make mod_perl compile with a Perl that is build with
PERL_OBJECT, but a lot of work is left...
