I do agree mod_perl is a strong web-develop language.But I still think it consume too much memory. Under my test,it's not so stable as fast-cgi,and eat much more memory than fast-cgi.Maybe the truth is not so,it's just my test result. I know the famous email site www.postmaster.co.uk is running under mod_perl,it act excellently.while the another strong email provider www.gmx.net is running under fast-cgi.
