Re: suggestions for perl as web development language [EXT]

Your external facing apache instance would do the SSL part and use
mod_proxy to redirect the request to another instance of apache which
implements the actual functionality. Just remember the second instance
needs to run on a different port and that it doesnt have to talk to the
outside world.

Did you check out the practical mod_perl article ?

As for your Lets Encrypt certificate - autorenewal isnt a mod_perl thing
rather you do have to place a script in some sort of scheduler.
