Actually the only similar techs to mod_perl are: mod_snake (python
equivalent to mod_perl, very new though), mod_java (java equivalent,
doesn't even run yet AFAIK), the Apache C API, the microsoft internet
server API (ISAPI), and the netscape server API (NSAPI). There are
probably a few others that I've missed, for other web servers, but that's
pretty much it as far as technologies similar to mod_perl. In short: most
other tecnologies are web page API's, whereas mod_perl and its kin are web
server API's.
A common misconception though.
