I'm baffled by the insistence of everyone on this thread that a bunch of
static pages like the ones on perl.apache.org should be served by
mod_perl. Shall I show you all how to change Apache's headers? We can
say we're running mod_perl/2000 for all the difference it will make.
I'm mostly kidding, but really it doesn't seem very important.
Generating templated pages off-line is a much simpler (and therefore
easier to build, maintain, mirror, scale, etc.) approach to this kind of
site. It's not as if we need to take credit cards in the mod_perl store
or something. (Although that would certainly help with the mod_perl bar
tab at the next ApacheCon.)

(And, no, I don't think we need to have a page running a guestbook or
calculator on the site to demonstrate the power of mod_perl. If people
need to see a dynamic app so badly, let them click through to imdb.com.
That site rocks.)
