There is Velocigen and SpeedyCGI (or is it FastCGI?).  These basically
create a pool of perl interpreter daemons that respond to requests.

The problem with them compared to mod_perl is that you don't have access
to the server internals so you can really only affect the content handling
phase.  Is this the case with Tomcat as well?

If so, I'd say its not really comparable to mod_perl.
