Apache 1.3.37 to 2+ (Windows NT) / mod_perl

Does anyone here know where to get a list of differences between
the different versions of Apache? I'm reading through a website
mod_perl.apache.org or mod_perl.perl.org and where they state
Apache 1.3x runs in a single threaded environment which causes
problems with mod_perl 1.0 and busy sites.

Scroll down to Synopsis...
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html

The page here indicates that mp1 (mod_perl version 1) gets
deployed for Apache 1.3x servers while mp2 (mod_perl
version 2) works with Apache 2.x servers. It also indicates
it complies 100% with 2.0 but falls short for Apache 2.2x?
Am I reading that right?
http://perl.apache.org/start

In fact, I've spent the day looking over the mod_perl stuff and
their website seems to SELL mod_perl, and pushes mod_perl
like its the greatest thing ever seen on this planet (link above).

I seek a dll implementation of PERL (like php) as opposed to
running through the perl executable. And I thought mod_perl
offered such. So I'm looking for some help in this regards.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

You'll find that in the Apache documentation:

1.3: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/
2.0: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/
2.2: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/

See especially the "New features with Apache [version]" link.

I think you'll have better luck aiming your questions of mod_perl to
the mod_perl-usergroups.
