This brings up a good point, is there a list of 'ModPerl Orphans' anywhere? For the most part I would imagine that a modules author/maintainer will manage the transition to mp2 but there must be a ton of modules that are Orphans with little hope of making it over unless some kind developer makes it happen.
It would be pretty great if there was a list and people could start taking responsibility for the tasks to avoid duplicate work as well as to guide folks who have time to contribute and are not sure where to start.
Lame suggestion most likely. I was just thinking 'I would like to try to port something but where to start....'
If there is interest in this I can put up a page for this sort of thing and send email out to all of the existing authors, hunting for orphans to post.
It's a good idea to compile a list of modules that need to get ported, discarding those that aren't needed in mp2 (e.g. Apache::Filter and FilterChain are definitely to stay in the mp1 world I believe). However there is a problem with porting modules that include XS code, since the replacement for Apache::src hasn't been completed yet. Pure perl modules porting should be fine.
FWIW, I've ported Apache::Peek and Apache::Scoreboard to 2.0, but I can't release them yet as they need a support from mod_perl-2.0 (because of Apache::src/xs stuff), which wasn't committed yet. We are hoping to deliver a much better Makefile.PL support (including things like installing into Apache2/ and automatic configuration of the MM attributes for compilation)
