You can't do that efficiently unless you involve perl interpreter pools 
(requires mp2).

Take a look at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_Parent_

But it only makes sense in production if you are running a worker mpm. 
With prefork mpm and threaded perl this will work too, but I think it may 
require more memory. It really depends on your setup (i.e. what code you 
run). Give a try to both and see which is more efficient.
