It seems to me that a lot of people new to mod_perl and to Perl have joined this mailing list recently.
And this is during a period when popular opinion (amongst those who know no better) seems to regard Perl as antiquated. I'm delighted that new people are joining. My question is, what prompted you? What made you choose Perl above Java/.Net/Python/Ruby etc etc Do you have experience of those languages? What appeals to you about Perl? And how do you find your community experience/support compared to the other languages you know? clint
