I am glad that mod_perl and Apache modules handle database connection pooling, script acceleration, and tight integration and control between the two. Overall I think mod_perl can be designed to scale quite well. Problem is, many people I know still think it's cheap admin glue. I just hope that success stories on perl.oreilly.com is more than just from academic institutions. If just some of the F500 companies can be in that list, I will feel more secure as a Perl professional.
Well I work for a company that most people have heard of (Reuters), I know that another company most people have heard of (Ticketmaster) funds the three core mod_perl developers I know. I know that mod_perl has been used in large financial institutions (Morgan Stanley) and other very large corporations. I know that Yahoo! at one point considerd switching to mod_perl for their web apps (they went with PHP because it was a better cultural fit for them ... mod_perl tested out *faster* in their test ... see mod_perl list archives for a record of this).
It's very sad that there is a myth that F500 companies don't use mod_perl/perl ... alot of them do at some point.
