mod_perl is perl embedded in an apache instance - its not just the
code caching, but being able to script apache as well. having it
support multiple platforms would be a bit of a logistics nightmare.
there are a couple of pure-perl webservers out there that would
probably let you achieve what you want without touching IIS or apache
and should work cross platform.
