OK, so to continue with the top posting, are you saying that there's
some expectation that Perl will someday be dropped?

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.

Anybody know when mod_perl will support Apache 2.4? Or is it the other
way around?
Cheers!
I'm interested in when this will come to fruition too. I've been
encouraging people to learn mod_perl2 and a few of them told me that
without support for Apache HTTPd v2.4 they aren't interested (they
think that v2.2 is too old now, and I do consider that to be a
reasonable consideration nowadays), so this is becoming a problem.
I also need to move on to Apache HTTPd v2.4 and I really want to get
away from running a separate instance of HTTPd v2.2 just for Perl
support. My fear is that ModPerl will be mis-classified as "outdated
technology" as more sites increasingly upgrade to Apache HTTPd v2.4
and find that it is not compatible.
