Re: References for modperl usage in financial institutions?
> Yes, please post your success stories here (...) I am more than happy being now able to add the new nice reference. Please, patch my English where necessary... Polish internet bank named Inteligo (http://www.inteligo.pl) recently migrated its transactional web service (the application used by the bank clients to make different kinds of payment orders, check account balances etc) from complicated Java-based solution to the modperl application. The application implements web frontend to the business services implemented by the main bank system and accessed via the bank middleware. It is worth mentioning that the application constitute the main access channel for the bank clients. After a few days of productional use the application is perceived to be much faster and lighter than the one previously used. Two words of warning: - inteligo 'informational' website (the pages visible under www.inteligo.pl) still use PHP and probably will continue to, - don't treat this as easy 'perl is faster than Java' claim, there was a lot of design and programming work behind the new application... Being a person who suggested using this technology and worked in a core development team I can admit that modperl fulfilled myp erformance expectations and allowed to develop complicated application fairly quickly. Thanks to all the people who developed this nice piece of software and its documentation and to everyone who answered my and my colleagues questions during the project. PS If only someone had some idea how to solve the DSO/Tru64 problem...

Anyone who has success stories about sites running mod_perl can send them to the docs-dev list ( http://perl.apache.org/maillist/docs-dev.html ) or to one of the maintainers. I would also rename 'Technologies Extraordinare' link to something like 'Who is using modperl' but that is different story...

Re: References for modperl usage in financial institutions?
I am working in a greek investment bank called, appropriately, Investment Bank. It is one of the largest investment banks, and one of the biggest financial institutions in Greece. We are currently implementing the company's internet presence in mod_perl. There is an existing web site that was outsourced and developed in ASP. After many a problem it was decided to be insourced and rewritten from scratch in mod_perl. It is expected to go live soon.

Re: References for modperl usage in financial institutions?
Does it have to be mod_perl in order to help your case? I gave a talk on Perl being used for webapps for investment banking at the 1999 Perl Conference and Morgan Stanley allowed a champion of Perl deliver a keynote at the OReilly Open Source Conference in the year 2000. But neither of us talked about mod_perl specifically. Both presentations might be available from OReilly if you register for their conference portal. I think there may also be a chapter or two on using Perl in a financial institution in the book "Applied Perl" from the publisher Hungry Minds (IDG or Wiley subsidiary?) (compiled advocacy articles with Peter Williams as editor and author of a couple chapters).

This is unofficial, since I haven't been affiliated with them for several years, but... Morgan Stanley Online (the discount brokerage, not the main corporate stuff - formerly "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Online", "Discover Brokerage Direct", and "Lombard Brokerage") switched from straight CGI to mod_perl early in 1997, and was still running most of the site that way whey they ceased operations this past summer.
