I thought I had posted to this thread yesterday but looking back I don't 
see that it showed up, so I'll try again. :)

I'm also looking for good mod_perl-supporting ISPs.  Recently I went 
through the list on the web site, and either the links were broken, or 
the sites made no mention of supporting mod_perl.  The best I've managed 
to find on my own is an ISP that starts supporting it at the $250/month 
level!  Yikes. =)  The inaccuracy of the list doesn't surprise me since 
the ISP world has experienced so much turnover and turmoil in the last 
couple of years.  I'd be willing to compile a list of ISPs that you all 
know about and/or use, and forward that on to the web site maintainer.

I know one option is to run your own mod-perl enabled apache but I 
imagine that a lot of ISPs would get pretty upset about you running 
servers (especially ones that love memory) on non-privileged ports, if 
they even allow connections to those ports in the first place.

My ideal setup would be to be able to colocate one of my servers and 
just use the ISP's bandwidth, but those plans are all pretty pricey. 
So, I'd really like to have a good ISP that supports mod_perl that I can 
afford because I'd enjoy being able to play around and create sites that 
use mod_perl outside of work.  Of course, I can do it at home, but it's 
not the best place to host a web app, it'd have an audience of one. =)

Thanks,
Fran
