Forgive my ignorance, I thought you had to have mod-perl installed and running to run perl cgi scripts. Can you point me in the direction of a comparison of the two?

At this point, I'm really just trying to learn perl in a web environment, and am feeling very much over my head in Apache, and the Terminal for that matter.)
Get hold of a copy of CGI Programming With Perl (O'Reilly). It's quite old now and outdated in a lot of ways, but there's still a lot of good stuff in there. Once you've got through that, bring yourself up to date a bit by looking at modules such as Class::DBI, Template Toolkit and CGI::Application.
