We have upwards over 200 people creating content and services - in
differening frameworks, languages ... on the current servers we maintain
in mod_perl the last count we had about 30-40 developers writing perl
code over probably 30 or 40 different applications within the same
cluster of webservers....

We have multiple apps, and we just switch in and out our auth/page

comes up with an app we tell them what they do to get the
information and "jobs a good-un", much simpler than having
multiple embedded login/authentication/... methods... We know
because other projects use the style frameworks you are talking
about - and we go you just XYZ, and then realize that they are
using some nginx/psgi/starman solution and have to go - aargh - no
you can't just do that - you will have to re-engineer your app!

We don't use any of those hooks into Apache. mod_perl invokes our
main handler and, from there, we do everything ourselves. We even
built our own authentication and authorization mechanisms,
directly into our application, instead of relying on Apache to
provide them. We've contained all mod_perl specific code to 2-3
files so that we have more freedom to decide how and where our
application will be deployed.

Unfortunately for us we actually use some of those 500 things
that apache is good at, that nginx doesn't do:
* Making use of all the handler/filter hooks in apache;
* Fronting a complex web-application, where requests by
definition take a long time to return (the databases and
related queries are complex)
