As long as your not completely integrated to mod_perl hooks, e.g. your
mostly using it for precompile speed up...

Check out Plack:

http://plackperl.org/   - https://metacpan.org/module/Plack

Then you can switch between mod_perl / FastCGI / Starman / Twiggy to your
hearts content (we found Starman is REALLY fast).

You also get a lot (160+ modules) of nice middleware available.

Welcome to the future :)
