The Basic of mod_perl Support

	Hey all. I just realized that with all of our work toward mod_perl,
some people might not know *why* we're doing the re-architecture that
we're doing.

	Basically, the most important thing to know is this:

	Under mod_perl, your .pm files will be compiled once. Ever. You can
reload that page 100 times, but it will only compile the .pm files the
first time. For you, or for anybody who ever accesses the server.

	(Technically, it happens once for every httpd process, but you don't
have to worry about that too much.)

	So just think with that when you're writing your code. Your .pms only
get compiled once.

	-Max
