Other advantages might be:
- portability (Perl is everywhere, Apache is getting there).
- common configuration formats
- use perl's regexes in just about anything
Disadvantages:
- the same security vulnerabilities in every implementation.
- common configuration formats probably means no config is really easy, all
are equally annoying.
- perl's regexes in just about anything :)
Perl-enhanced Apache & things like DAV are more promising for totally new
services. Why fix what isn't broken?
