I'm going to give you some different, and perhaps somewhat heretical
advice.

You want to keep things simple.  That's great.  Your current application
doesn't use mod_perl.  So perhaps to keep things simple you don't need
to now.  mod_perl is a heavyweight solution.  I would suggest looking at
a lightweight framework instead, perhaps Dancer or Mojolicious.

I disagree about mod_perl being "heavyweight," or I don't understand
what you mean by the term.  Using mod_perl is the lightest "weight" 
you can get with a Perl web application -- the fewest number of function 
calls between the request and the response.
