If they add really good mod_perl support, they'll have my money (he says without knowing what the price is, heh :) > I have mentioned it to him and hopefully a future version will support > mod_perl.

I was going to make the "lack of bugs in sub-10,000-line programs" joke, but Pudge beat me to it ;) Anyway, debugging a simple script isn't so bad in the standard perl debugger, but debugging a full-blown web application made up of (literally) hundreds of perl modules...then good ol' perl -d is a wee bit clunky. > PS.
