What’s this “we” in “maybe we should not fight it”? When did you ever contribute *anything* to Perl? Rhetorical, of course.

For people looking for an answer: It’s up to anyone willing to take on the work if it’s worth it. mod_perl is not the same thing as the other services and techniques mentioned and it’s not what the user above described; there is simply no direct analog. For my part, I will likely never use mod_perl in new code again—because I will never choose apache as my webserver—but I do maintain some in an application on hundreds of production installs and it’s always a pleasure to work with.
