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.
