3. Information about the apache2-mod_perl package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package apache2-mod_perl:
-----------------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : apache2-mod_perl
Version : 2.0.13-1.3
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 7.6 MiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : apache2-mod_perl-2.0.13-1.3.src
Upstream URL : https://perl.apache.org/
Summary : Embedded Perl for Apache
Description :
The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power of
the Perl programming language and the Apache HTTP server.
With mod_perl, it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl.
The persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the overhead
of starting an external interpreter and the penalty of Perl start-up
time.
Note that you do not need mod_perl to run perl scripts via the common
gateway interface (CGI). mod_perl enables you to run Perl scripts in an
embedded interpreter if the additional performance is needed, but may
require modifications to the scripts.
