I am sure it does, but you also need to recognize that around 40% of all Apache installations have PHP on them. And 30% or so have mod_perl. Many actually have both, so there is some overlap, but I would say that over half of all Apache installs have one or both of PHP or mod_perl. Apache 2 is being pitched as a production-quality web server without any mention of the fact that over half of the current Apache sites probably should not upgrade at this point. -Rasmus
