These days more developers want to build (and even deploy) their own perl using tools such as perlbrew, not the one that comes with the distribution, and building perl _and_ mod_perl is certainly doable as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but is a separate step that's not required in most PSGI perl-based server setup. > - Knowledge that mod_perl has been proven in large scale deployments. > The biggest I've worked on is about 500 servers if I recall correctly. PSGI based deployment has been used and deployed in many online services, small to large, personal to enterprise to PaaS, such as: DeNA/ngmoco, livedoor, NHN, BBC, mixi, Booking, Stackato, dotcloud, just to name a few (that I know). Also: search.cpan.org and metacpan.org both run on top of PSGI (Starman and Twiggy), so does cpanmetadb.plackperl.org, the backend of cpanminus - although it serves about millions of requests per day, it isn't considered a large scale deployment since it runs as one process on one server :) -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa
