Practical mod_perl Review by Egor Shipovalov
mod_perl from the horse's mouth
This one of the most informative O'Relly books by absolute metrics: almost 1000 pages packed with useful information. It pretty much covers all bases: from porting existing CGI scripts to mod_perl, to architecturing busy websites for optimal performance. One of the authors, Stas Bekman, works on mod_perl full-time, so this is it's basically as authoriative as it gets.
The only drawback of this book that I noticed is that it sometimes gets too heavy on basic Perl or sysadmin stuff, making the experienced developer flip pages in anxiety. Also, some parts are too similar to online mod_perl documentation (which is not surprising as it's written by the same person).
Still, this is the first book with substantial mod_perl2 coverage, and probably worths buying for this reason alone. All in all, if you're coding mod_perl for living, I think you owe it to yourself to have this book in your O'Relly collection.
