These are large subjects in their own right and will not properly be
covered by the mod_perl nor the Apache documentation for good reasons.
Your Apache server does not live in isolation but with a whole bunch
of other software on which it may depend for services, or about which
it may know nothing at all. All of the other software on the machine
can have an impact on security and performance.
Of course that isn't to say that there are no security and performance
issues which are specific to Apache and mod_perl. There are, and they
are given a roasting regularly on the List.
You need to spend a lot of time reading the List, its archives, the
Guide, the Eagle Book, and anything else you can get your hands on.
There are books about Apache itself, "Professional Apache" by Peter
Wainwright is one I liked. Only by studying in depth will you have
any hope of securing your high-performance server.
