FastCGI - a standards based protocol for communicating with
applications that generate dynamic content for web pages.
FastCGI provides a superset of CGI functionality, but a subset of the
functionality of programming for a particular web server API.
Nonetheless, the feature set is rich enough for programming virtually
any type of web application, but the result is generally more
scalable.

development and clean, pragmatic design.
Developed and used over two years by a fast-moving online-news
operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive
deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the
experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build
high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.

Apache::Session::Generate::UUID extends Apache::Session to allow you to
create UUID based session ids. This module fits well with long-term
sessions, so better using RDBMS like MySQL for its storage.

nginx [engine x] is a HTTP server and IMAP/POP3 proxy server.
The basic HTTP features:
* Handling of the static files, index files, and autoindexing
* Accelerated reverse proxying without caching, simple load
balancing and fault tolerance
* Accelerated support without caching of the remote FastCGI
servers, simple load balancing and fault tolerance
* Modular architecture, filters including gzipping, byte
ranges, chunked responses, and SSI-filter; Several subrequests
in one page handling in SSI-filter via FastCGI or proxy
running in parallel
* the SSL support
The IMAP/POP3 proxy server features:
* User redirection to IMAP/POP3 backend using an external HTTP
authentication server
* Plain text authentication (LOGIN, USER/PASS)
* SSL and STARTTLS support

This module aims to be a full implementation of a an object-oriented
interface to the Audioscrobbler WebService API (as available on
http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/). The module fully
supports data caching and, thus, complies to the service's recommended
usage guides.

This is an Apache module that implements the SCGI protocol. The SCGI
protocol is a replacement for the Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
protocol. It is a standard for applications to interface with HTTP
servers. It is similar to FastCGI but is designed to be easier to
implement.
from Jeremy Evans, with tweaks by me
Although using the conventional LWP::UserAgent is fast and easy it does
have some drawbacks - the code execution blocks until the request has
been completed and it is only possible to process one request at a time.
HTTP::Async attempts to address these limitations.
WebGUI is a content management platform built to give average business
users the ability to build and maintain complex web sites. It is
modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It is designed to keep the
management of content in the hands of those who create content, rather
than take up the time of busy IT staff.
libapreq is a safe, standards-compliant, high-performance library used
for parsing HTTP cookies, query-strings and POST data. The original
version (libapreq-1.X) was designed by Lincoln Stein and Doug
MacEachern. The perl APIs Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie are the
lightweight mod_perl analogs of the CGI and CGI::Cookie perl modules.
HTML::TagFilter is a subclass of HTML::Parser with a single purpose:
it will remove unwanted html tags and attributes from a piece of text.
It can act in a more or less fine-grained way - you can specify
permitted tags, permitted attributes of each tag, and permitted values
for each attribute in as much detail as you like.
