I was not referring to a "'cadre' of mod_perl zealots". I'm a mod_perl zealot! And I would like to imagine that I'm part of that particular cadre. I was referring to a cadre of zealots who insist on writing web-apps in Apache handler-space. Those guys are nuts. IMHO, handler space is perfect for writing Apache API handlers -- IOW, things which actually require direct access to the API. (Authentication, Authorization, special content handlers, special logging handlers, etc.) Web-apps don't need run in handler space to gain the benefits of mod_perl (see Apache::Registry), and developing them there is a major pain in the ass. Besides the logistical difficulties (such as having to restart the server constantly), there haven't been a lot of high-level tools. That is, until Apache::Request. Apache::Request is attempting to be to mod_perl what CGI.pm has been to web-apps. Apache::Request is fast, but it is (thus far) incomplete. Nonetheless, the speed advantage and its popularity is compelling enough to discuss supporting it in CGI-Application.
