I know what mod_perl is, I just have never used it. I've had a class on writing perl, 2 actually if you consider all the help I gave my wife for her class (Biology uses perl too), but I've never used it how Alla's uses it. I know CGI is involved somehow too, need to read up on it I suppose. A second source of income would be helpful right now, and the experience would look good on a resume.
