That is the standard recommended setup for mod_perl.  It's pretty much 
equivalent to the FastCGI process model.  Which one you find easier to 
manage probably depends on whether you have a reverse proxy server that 
you like (perlbal, Nginx, apache, squid, etc.) and whether your web 
server of choice has a solid FastCGI module or not.
