I don't mean to rain on the parade, but...
The more important number would be to look at the number of unique IPs,
which has only moderately grown. I installed mod_perl this weekend on my
main server to start testing it, etc. Netcraft, of course, reports that
I've got mod_perl, which may be reflected in the next updating of the
mod_perl chart.
But, since the number of unqiue IP's hasn't grown as much as the number of
unique hosts, the chart just appears to say that some virtual host providers
installed mod_perl on their servers.
If that is so, then wouldn't all of the virtual hosts on that system report
mod_perl, despite the fact that they might not be?
