Can be anything really, though I admit I'm not in the know. Sometimes
it's simply a business decision: perhaps moving development off-shore to
companies that are full of Java/ .NET people? Can't find enough
competent mp developers?

They have a HUGE deployment on mp, and have been my prime "Um, not
enterprise? Hello, AMAZON." repsonse.
I know that people 'in the know' can't comment on record... however
I'm wondering if anyone with second-hand intel has heard , and can
share :
a- what the bottleneck / scaling issues were
b- were these due to apache/mod_perl, or because of the framework
implementation... and this is just an opportunity to switch
technologies while they switch frameworks ( ie, is MP to blame, or
Template Toolkit... and MP is taking a fall since its going to be a
PITA to ditch TT )
c- what the hell the financial projections were on doing this.
are they looking to save on hardware scaling, developer scaling, is
the codebase just unmanageable? this would be a costly transition
