I wonder if the fact that mod_perl works so well sometimes plays against it? Jim's comments remind me of a few others before on the list, with the author asking if it's dead because they don't see any activity. It's not dead at all, it just does the job, quietly and very well. There was a discussion a while back on HN or /., started by someone complaining that some linux packages hadn't changed in years (can't remember exactly now, but it was about essential things like ls, ps... commands being used everyday by millions). The reason being of course that these packages were just fine as they were. -- Salutations, Vincent Veyron http://marica.fr/site/demonstration Logiciel de gestion des contentieux juridiques et des sinistres d'assurance
