I'd suggest covering the major configuration issues you need to
decide/implement after installing your package (although the RH, and
presumably Debian, packages are decent default installs). Like setting up
personal web directories, what options you should enable on what
directories, etc.

Actually, getting Apache to use Perl for CGI is as simple as including
"#/usr/bin/env perl" in the first line of the script. Mod_perl only comes
in to integrate the Perl interpreter into the web server more tightly. I
would request/suggest, as a non-Perl user (who may or may not attend, mind
you), that you not focus too much on it. I'm really not fond of the
assumption that alot people make that if you use Linux you like to use
Perl.

Don't worry, as someone who has been in front of a number of different
groups with the purpose of delivering information, let me reassure you
that being in front of a group of people expecting you to explain
something does wonders for the long term recall.
