I just did this yesterday. I had apache / mod_perl / mod_ssl compiled and
installed already. I configured Embperl with mod_perl support and installed
it. It found the apache source tree, but I didn't have to do a make install
there. I've put embperl in my startup.pl, and everything works great. I guess
you can just view it as another Apache perl module.

If Embperl is build _without_ support for Apache you can only use it offline
and as CGI script, but not under mod_perl. When building with support for
Apache, Embperl uses directly the Apache API (on C Level) and mod_perl,
which makes it much faster.

So when you are using Apache and mod_perl, build Embperl with support for
Apache.
