www.modperl.org could simply be a CNAME for perl.apache.org. Staying at
perl.apache.org has the benefit, that the Apache Search page, also indexes
modperl pages and that the modperl pages are also mirrored on every (or
most) apache mirrors. (We should metion this fact somewhere on the site, I
guess most people don't know this).

I don't see any benefit on having so a set of hostnames/subdomains over
using subdirectories, execpt that subdomains harder to administer (they have
to go into the dns)
