Yes, http/2 is our primary concern right now. At the moment, we've made
the business decision to stay on mod_perl rather than migrate to another
platform and gain http/2 benefits, but for how long can we maintain that
decision? I'm honestly not sure.
Now, we significantly under-utilize mod_perl, mostly doing CGI registry
/ code caching. Hey, if it was good 15 years ago, it's good today! :)
But that does mean that there are potentially other options for us to
explore, as we're not married to all the bells and whistles that
mod_perl provides.

Also issues with http/2 since it is not supported by prefork mpm anymore.

The biggest deficiency of mod_perl, at the moment, is that it
cannot provide web sockets. In today's world, that's a huge problem.

mind if some tool equivalent to mod_perl was developed using
whichever other scripting language is currently more in

to "slowly abandon" mod_perl without providing some tool of
equivalent power in terms of deep interaction with Apache httpd.
