About your last question : a lot.
About the other question :
It depends. Generally, yes. But you should really read the documentation
here : http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/index.html
The time you will spend initially reading this documentation, will be
saved 100 times afterward.
Also, start with Apache 2.2 and mod_perl 2.x.
Do not start with Apache 1.3/mod_perl 1.x.
The Apache 1.3 "end of life" announcement has just gone out, and there
is no reason to lose time with it, nor spend your time later doing a
mod_perl-1 to mod_perl-2 conversion.
