eToys is a good tech story, but business-wise, it went bankrupt.  I
think Ticketmaster is the poster child you're looking for.  If the
numbers in that article I posted weren't enough for you, you can
probably get more by contacting people there.  The amount of money
Ticketmaster Online makes is a matter of public record.

Hey, I'd like to gather thoughts around wording an email to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
urging people to submit success stories.

So, how about something along these lines:
Message
Is the company you are working for using mod_perl ?
Is your no company listed here 
http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/index.html ?

Well, if you answered Yes to both questions, submitting a success story 
is simple and easy.
Just download the success story template from
http://perl.apache.org/outstanding/success_stories/template.pod (not 
there yet),
fill it in and submit it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's that simple!

Great, then I guess we need to get a nice and simple template written
and posted on perl.apache.org?
Another thing that could help would be to go thru the existing success
stories and make sure all those sites are still in business. Volounteers?
In fact this should be sent to the modperl list every 2-3 months, since 
people need to be reminded of that...
Good idea!
Also I had an additional input when I was posting this request at 
use.perl.org. Many people for whom mod_perl 'just works' aren't on the 
mailing list, so they will never see it. So use.perl.org usually is a 
good place to cross-post this request (but probably at a lesser 
repetition, so the post gets approved :)
