I don't think there's any sudden urgency to switch to something else, since
nothing has actually changed about the state of mod_perl. However, if you
do want to migrate to something else, you should look at Plack:
https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack

Plack is not a drop-in replacement for mod_perl, but it's a high-quality
project with a well-developed ecosystem that will have some sort of
solution for most (not all) things that people are doing in mod_perl. But
again, I don't think you need to rush to do anything here.
