PERL and Apache mod_perl

What is the difference between PERL and Apache's mod_perl? My understanding is that mod_perl os precompiled for faster execution, but how does one go about doing that? Is it just installing a module, then the first time a script is run the compiled version becomes available? Or is there a precomiler you need to have to implement this?

Don't know much about it --looks interesting. Ironically I was reading about it last nite when looking for info about Apache.
