Springboard Hosting in Raleigh/Durham has provided my past employer as well as other current business associates this type of service for a few years now. They have hosted 40 and 50 machines that my department was responsible for. All Solaris/Linux apache/mod_perl mysql stuff.
They are very flexible. Their network connectivity is good as well. The url is http://www.springboardhosting.com. I know some of the techies and most are familiar with apache/mod_perl. I am on contract for a mod_perl development project hosted by them currently. I have been to their location on several occasions too, nice clean datacenter. Rich Lee the CEO and Chris Hanks his partner/President have always been str8 dealing as well. FYI, I get nothing for this recommendation. I like you have had a hard time finding decent reliable and professional mod_perl hosting providers. Good luck, Richard F.
