+PLP::Apache - Apache mod_perl interface for PLP

+
+Naturally, you'll need to enable I<mod_perl>:

+
+Setup F<httpd.conf> (often just create a F</etc/apache2/conf.d/plp>) with:
+
+ <IfModule mod_perl.c>

+ SetHandler perl-script
+ PerlHandler PLP::Apache

+PLP::CGI - CGI interface for PLP
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+For most servers you'll need a script executable.

+=head2 Lighttpd
+
+Edit the configuration file (usually F</etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf>)

+You'll need a dispatch script (F<plp.fcgi> is included with PLP).
+Example F</foo/bar/plp.fcgi>:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+ use PLP::FastCGI;
+
+Then enable either I<mod_fastcgi> or I<mod_fcgid>, and setup F<httpd.conf>
