We have multiple apps, and we just switch in and out our auth/page
wrapper/logging/debugging code as we need to, if some one else comes up
with an app we tell them what they do to get the information and "jobs a
good-un", much simpler than having multiple embedded
login/authentication/... methods... We know because other projects use
the style frameworks you are talking about - and we go you just XYZ, and
then realize that they are using some nginx/psgi/starman solution and
have to go - aargh - no you can't just do that - you will have to
re-engineer your app!

We don't use any of those hooks into Apache. mod_perl invokes our main
handler and, from there, we do everything ourselves. We even built our
own authentication and authorization mechanisms, directly into our
application, instead of relying on Apache to provide them. We've
contained all mod_perl specific code to 2-3 files so that we have more
freedom to decide how and where our application will be deployed.

Unfortunately for us we actually use some of those 500 things that
apache is good at, that nginx doesn't do:
* Making use of all the handler/filter hooks in apache;
* Fronting a complex web-application, where requests by
definition take a long time to return (the databases and
related queries are complex)
