It is causing me a problem. My potential customers have heard of Perl and
Apache, MySql and Postgres, but they dot like the idea of perl modifying the
Apache processing. It strikes them as tinkering round with the internals and

How could another name look nice on your resume if they don't know what it is ?
Why don't you just nickname mod_perl as something else and then put THAT
name on your resume if you are so concerned about naming.

Note that that makes the only forbidden animal a white-tailed eagle I
guess. Any other animal should be ok.
The context is Apache and Perl, so wouldn't that include eagle, camel, llama
and whatever other book animals I've missed?

Thanks for sharing your opinion and it has brought up some of my own

I would 100% agree with a claim that a name is effecting usage if we

I agree. mod_perl is a technology not a platform. Java is called Java,
Servlets are called Servlets, but products on top of the technology (eg app
servers) are usually have the name Orwellian Pearlz Factory.
If you wanted to use a marketing name, you should have just told them you
were using
not Postgres, Sybase, Oracle,
Informix?
My point is it would not matter. The issue was not Perl, the real issue was
that it was not a Microsoft product.
