In Smalltalk you just save the image with one method call. It is a nice
feature.

No need to. It is a simple mod_perl-like handler that accepts an HTTP
request from mod_perl, and returns an HTML string to pass to the client.

Well it does, but why would you need to implement these features if
Apache already does?

I wonder if Coro plays nice with mod_perl. I know nothing of Perl
internals, but it seems as if Coro must be doing some major brain
surgery in that area.
