Well, there probably isn't just one book that will fill that particular
void.
Writing fast, correct, and safe mod_perl is non-trivial, what with taint
mode, URL rewriting, handling SQL queries, caching, etc.
So there is sometimes a lot of non-perl-specific context that the mod_perl
interfaces give you access to that a higher-level mod_perl developer will
leverage.
A good mod_perl coder has to understand some or all of that context.
There is also apache 1.3 vs. 2.x to consider and the concomitant mod_perl
1.x vs 2.x codelines to deal with.
If you are deploying on apache 1.3, then I would start with
Practical mod_perl
<http://www.amazon.com/Practical-mod_perl-Stas-Bekman/dp/0596002270/ref=sr_1
_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276878192&sr=8-1>
However, P m_p doesn't cover mod_perl2.
So if you need that, I would add
mod_perl 2 User's Guide
<http://www.amazon.com/mod_perl-Users-Guide-Stas-Bekman/dp/0977920119/ref=sr
_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276878248&sr=8-1>
which, I'm told, is also available online.
I wound up spending most of my learning time in mp2 user's guide,
supplemented by
Pro Apache, Third Edition (Expert's Voice)
<http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Apache-Third-Experts-Voice/dp/1590593006/ref=sr_1
_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276878391&sr=8-1>
for the details of the underlying mechanisms m_p was giving me access to.
Have fun...
