A DSO is a Dynamic Shared Object.  It's like a shared library.  It
allows modules to be dynamically loaded into httpd at runtime so you
don't have to statically link all the modules you may ever need into
httpd.  This allows for a smaller httpd binary.

Don't know.  I don't use mod_perl in my server.
