I don't think mod_perl should have more trouble cooperating with
DBIx::Class than other web environments.  However, some of the people
who use DBIx::Class are vocal mod_perl haters, so they may not give
very good advice about how to set it up with mod_perl.

You'll always get better performance from straight DBI than from ORMs
like DBIx::Class or Rose::DB::Object.  They just save you some
repetitive code for simple things.

Sounds like you're having a good time with your mod_perl stuff!  Good to hear.
