It's not a good guide. A guide should start with the basics. The mp_1 guide is one of the most beautiful pieces of electronic documentation in existance! It should be a book (I know: practical mod_perl) Seriously though - the guide is what personally turned me on to mod_perl, but the above two documents make me shiver and stay the hell away from mp_2.
