Remember, you asked. http://m4m4sex.com/ is a gay personals system that targets local gay communities in a number of cities. The site is written exclusively in mod_perl and uses mysql as a backend. The only purpose of the site is to ensure that people find sex partners as efficiently as possible. I'm impressed with how well mod_perl and mysql have held up under considerable load as more cities were added and as more users joined. It also continued to please as we re-worked the site to allow users to switch between languages (4 at this point) on-the-fly. It all happens on vanilla x86 hardware. Everything from user signups, account maintenance, online chat, secure payment options, renewing subscriptions, reports, etc. Hooray for mod_perl! If you plan to reprint this somewhere, I would appreciate it if I could be contacted first.
