I've heard mod_perm costs a lot more than its worth. There was an
open-source clone called mod_home_perm but it wasn't very successful.
Some people say you should skip it altogether and just use mod_hat.

None that I know of, except that you really don't want the additional
memory overhead of mod_perl in a process that isn't using mod_perl. You
might save some memory by having a separate server that runs just
mod_perl, and having your jserv (or whatever) server send requests for
mod_perl apps to it using mod_proxy. See the mod_perl Guide for more info
on using a proxy with mod_perl.
