There are a lot of references out there. I like the modperl book and Writing Apache modules in C and Perl. Also, a pretty decent book if you are pretty new to Perl web development is Beginning Perl Web Development published by Apress. If you are already familiar with server-side web development and you need something for a specific task, I recommend Mason. If you just want to learn, roll your own modperl framework. I run linux( ubuntu :-) ) and apache2. I installed the modperl apache module and looked at the docs for the perl modules ( Apache::* and Apache2::*, etc ). Apache::DB is a sweet module the allows you to run the perl debugger on your http requests. There are tons of modules on CPAN to help you accomplish tasks you might want to integrate into your framework. Some of my favs are Text::Template ( for processing perl code in html ), JSON::XS ( self-explanatory ), CGI::Session ... I could go on forever. Good luck and have fun.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
