I'm finding (while doing consulting work) that, if I already have
an "in" with a firm, I can usually leverage that to work in time
training the staff in how to use mod_perl indirectly, by teaching
them Embperl first.
Embperl ends up being the draw.
I find I can take average Perl programmers and get them up and run-
ning with Embperl, basically in two sessions. And once they figure
out what all they can do - and how quickly all their Perl scripts
can transfer - they buy right in.
The main hurdle turns out to be working a build of mod_perl into the
servers they're using. Often quite a number of developers are all
at work, and they don't all merit the kind of trust that mod_perl
requires. Mod_perl, though, is a pretty trusting module.
