I really think of this as something that should be front-and-center on the www.perl.org site. There's certainly excellent content on perl.com and perl.apache.org, but there's no obvious place to start with questions like "who has successfully implemented a high-traffic web site with Perl, and how did they do it?".
Unfortunately the www.perl.org site appears to be unmaintained at the moment, and I don't see any obvious links from there heading over to p5ee.perl.org... -Jason Gunther Birznieks wrote: > My original message on the subject mentioned the mod_perl success > stories as well as perl.com success stories.
