I got mod_perl working some time ago but it was tricky to get it to
compile. Also I wasn't able to build an Apache and mod_perl with dll's
all was just linked static. To run the mod_perl test suite there was a
little tweaking neccessary. However, I don't recommend to use Cygwin
Apache with mod_perl for production. It is very slow compared with
Apache and external Perl. There are native Windows versions of Apache
with mod_perl which should be faster.
Other (most) Perl modules are working as usual. Some will not build
since they are very system specific.
