that's the long term path, we won't survive without a support from the
outside. It's hard to have a garage kind of a startup these days.

Hey, we have a product -- mod_perl. All we need is to nicely pack it,
start selling it, support it and put the money back into mod_perl R&D.
Most of the big companies are still reluctant to accept the fact that
something can be available for free. They are ready to pay for it, as long
as you provide a support.
