I'm interested in hearing about what application frameworks (Catalyst,
CGI::App, Mojolicious) are used here with mod_perl. Given the number
of emerging Perl based webservers on CPAN (in addition to Nginx,
lighty, etc), it seems like there are many more Perl web application
and webservers out there now than there were five years ago.
There are probably several thousand installations of our application
running under mod_perl. (We guess that there are roughly 10,000
installations of Bugzilla, some large number of which are running under
mod_perl.)
We don't really have a web framework (unless you count CGI.pm, which I
don't), we just have a bunch of raw CGI files. The application dates
originally from 1998 and is developed on an entirely volunteer basis, so
we have a legacy from that era. The exact same code also runs under
mod_cgi for users who have trouble installing mod_perl (or want to run
multiple installations on one machine with different code).
We require only mod_perl 1.999022, but nowadays also require
Apache2::SizeLimit 0.93, which may raise the effective minimum mod_perl
requirement.
The performance and configuration ease of mod_perl have been generally
excellent for us--our only serious problems have been with people having
their servers' memory exhausted (which is why I frequently talk/ask
about SizeLimit on this list) and the occasional problem with a CPAN
module that doesn't work right in mod_perl.
