For some people, I presume dealing only with content handlers could be
considered as "mod_perl experience". But mod_perl is so much more
than the content phase. I would laugh at someone that said they "knew
mod_perl", but couldn't tell me most of what's in Stas' document, for
example, or had never written a PerlTransHandler or a PerlLogHandler.
Or worse yet, had only used Apache::Registry!
aside - Doug did too good of a job with Apache::Registry. So many
people think that this is all mod_perl is and forget that
Apache::Registry is just a stopgap while you are writing *real*
handlers.
