Yes, we do. But I don't think it's enough to convince people to move to
"mod_perl". They want to move to a better framework. I'm sure you know
which one I favour :-) Sadly most people *still* see Perl on the web as
CGI, as printing out your HTML from code, etc. It needs more articles in
the right places to fix that sort of misconception.
