mod_perl has been out for over 10 years. There are a couple of O'Reilly books that describe it in detail. The book you probably want to look at is "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern, which came out in 1999. It contains a lot of examples of mod_perl usage. If you don't want to buy the book, there are a number of "getting started" tutorials at perl.apache.org.
The "eagle book" is more reference stuff IMHO, although you can use it to learn mod_perl I'd suggest the more recent books like : * http://www.modperlcookbook.org/ # lots of examples, including some ready to use apps iirc * http://www.manning.com/petersen/ # again lots of example and some applications to try out
But you probably don't want to use raw mod_perl anyway. Most web developers are using some sort of framework, such as Catalyst. It has a similar scope and purpose as Ruby on Rails. Look at www.catalystframework.org.
or Maypole : http://maypole.perl.org , released before Rails, and rather well documented. cheers, A. -- http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Hosting
