Hi All It would be good if there is even an indication of the state of the play that would help us make future decisions re mod_perl. The link http://svn.apache.org/snapshots/modperl-2.0/ on page http://perl.apache.org/download/source.html#Development_mod_perl_2_0_Source_Distribution returns 404; http://perl.apache.org/dist/ is full of broken links. To be sure, everybody is busy and contributions from existing developpers are greatly appreciated. However, if people can't get anywhere on http://perl.apache.org/, that makes it difficult to attract new developpers.
Time is running out for mod_perl, for applications developped for Apache 2.2.* cannot be made available for an increasing number of users of Apache 2.4, and the prospect of mp being dropped by Web app developpers altogether could come much sooner than one'd expect and I certainly would hate to see that happen.
