I've heard it before: "mod_perl? What's that? Never heard of it. And if
I've never heard about it, it must be a non-contender in the market." It's
interesting how their ignorance is a matter of pride.
First use Netcraft to demonstrate Apache is the number one web server on the
planet. http://www.netcraft.com/survey/ Okay. Good.
Next use the E-Soft numbers to demonstrate the popularity of the various
Apache modules.
http://www.e-softinc.com/survey/data/200002/news.html#modules Well, look at
that -- mod_perl in the top three, and growing quickly. Gee whiz!
Given these figures, most web developers become less enthusiastic about
their mod_perl ignorance. :-)
