I like PersistentPerl quite a bit for both web and command-line use. The only problem is it keeps me tied down to Perl 5.8.x, as it's apparently no longer maintained. I'm aware of mod_perl and FastCGI, but these don't appear to have CLI functionality (correct me if I'm wrong!). So is there a suitable replacement for PersistentPerl?

App::Persistent is the modern alternative. It is kind of beta and requires a Haskell compiler, but it is very fast and very non-magical. It tends to Just Work.

Although I don't know I would recommend FastCGI for your problem, it's just a process that sits there handling requests. You don't have to put a web front-end on it. mod_perl would be the same sort of thing. Your script turns into a service around which you have a thin wrapper. Again, it depends on what you are doing.
