Hi,
This may be a horrible suggestion. But I have seen one or two install programs ask if they can send debugging info back to the source. Certainly PHP does this when there are errors with tests.
What if at the conclusion of all of the tests, there was a prompt to ask something like,"Count me as a mod_perl user. (y/n)" Or even something more useful, like returning uname -a along with some basic info so that knowing the tests were all successful is useful.
Thanks for the suggestion, Eric, but, my point was to try to stir again the advocacy efforts which have quickly died since Aug. Not really to figure out the exact number of users, which is not really feasible, IMHO.
Or I guess for that matter why not just count downloads?
That's impossible, since there is no single source. mod_perl is distributed through many channels, for most of which we have no control.
