        With perl, there's not really any need since it's compiled on
the fly for you.  There are things for mod_perl such as
Apache::StatINC and Apache::Reload which handle keeping things up to
date in a development context, but for production environments you
really don't need them (or the overhead).

        Get Damian Conway's _Object Oriented Perl_.
