Aside from being an interesting fact, how does this affect us? I mean, as mod_perl developers?
I can't imagine that mod_perl will ever be the major "scripting" language since it, by nature, is unrestrictive. On a multi-user/multi-host server, I think I'd rather PHP be run than mod_perl, simply because I don't want sites stepping on each other's toes and have to worry about restarting httpd. I don't know. I don't see it overtaking less-powerful (more restrictive) languages, at least in numbers. Now, if these numbers are generated by looking at high-profile websites, then I'll buy the importance of the percentages. Regardless, thanks for the report. It was cool to see just how many servers have good admin's behind them :)
