Probably once it becomes more prevelant - the perl6 community is still relatively small {moving current perl 5 codebases to it will be none-trivial} and most will not see the gain from doing so... It will take time for traction (similar to other moves like Drupal 7 -> 8) It is a different language and you have to think differently and code differently to use...
Thanks for pointing out that.
perl 5 and mod_perl are still going strong... the point is that for the best part of 20 years both have been doing well and doing stuff right - they need tweaks here and there but you don't need to do huge amounts of development on top of what is already one of the best base levels for web development...
I have Java programming background, know some modperl development, wrote several handlers with mp2 which work really well.
but, does modperl have something like JDBC, the database connection pool? thanks.
