After seeing the responses from others on the list, hopefully you can
understand why your module came across as a sort of slap in the face
when I saw it on perl.com.  The fact that you didn't realize how much
you were duplicating mod_perl functionality means it wasn't intentional
on your part, but then we have to face the fact that someone who knew
enough about Perl and apache to write an embedded interpreter module
still thought that mod_perl was some kind of limited CGI replacement.
This means we are not getting the word out very well, and it's
distressing.

I hope you'll consider creating a version of your module that runs on
mod_perl.  It's a powerful and well-tested platform, and we are
generally a pretty helpful bunch when asked.
