I do something similar to what Cliff has here. There's nothing special for the users to know except the URL of the server they want to talk to. You already need to install a separate apache for mod_perl 2 anyway, so installing a separate perl doesn't seem like a big extra to me, although technically it is not needed for many things anymore now that modules go into the Apache2:: namespace. I prefer to have a separate perl so that I know for certain which modules I'm using and can port things without breaking the existing code. - Perrin
