Obviously, you know after reading the above link you don't need mod_perl to
run standard perl-written cgi's.  One of the additional benefits not mentioned
in that article is Embperl.  Embperl is a nifty little tool that let's you
embed server side interpreted perl in a normal .html document.  Very handy
indeed!  In order for Embperl to work, however, mod_perl must be installed.

Enjoy. :)
