After 20 years of Perl, the shift to Drupal is too fundamental:
Considering the obstacles, I might as well pursue a career writing
IPhone apps, or dentistry for that matter. And I still manage a few
sophisticated mod_perl implementations (
http://www.outdoorathlete.com/ ). The obvious decision is to port
these sites to Drupal and conquer the learning curve. But if
there's even a nascent effort to promote mod_perl as an alternative,
I would prefer to participate.
FWIW, if I get a chance to post another, I will stop the belly-aching.
Thanks!
One option is to join the marketing mailing list at the Perl
Foundation. That's a low traffic list too (although not as slow as
this one :-P) but it has a couple people in there that have the
intention of making a difference when it comes to the visibility of
all things Perl.
I think it would be great to have a couple people there willing to the
raise mod_perl's banner. Here are the relevant list headers:
List-Post: <mailto:tpf-market...@perl.org>
List-Help: <mailto:tpf-marketing-h...@perl.org>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:tpf-marketing-subscr...@perl.org>
Also, there's an events mailing list at TPF, and Enlightened Perl
Organization have some lists where matters like these are discussed.
To me, it seems Gabor Szabo is one of the more prolific ones, but he
(and the rest of the people that care about awareness/visibility) need
any help they can get. Feel free to sign up and make yourself known!
