From what I've gathered moving normal Perl CGIs is no problem what
so ever. The C CGIs can continue to run as normal, however without
the performance benefits that mod_perl offers.
You'll probably want to rewrite any heavily utilized scripts, or
ones that take large amounts of resources to run to take full
advantage of mod_perl. What I would suggest is setting up a small
free Unix box ( Linux, FreeBSD, or whatever ) and moving the site
over in a development/testing enviroment that way you can see what
you are going to be up against for sure, in a relatively easy way.
