I think a big problem at the moment is that hosting providers will not load mod_perl on shared hosting plans. I've often heard the argument from ISPs saying that any process can grow uncontrollably and take all a server's memory and/or CPU resources, which could theoretically mean one user could destabilize the machine for hundreds of users quite easily.
However, mod_perl 2 is supposed to do something about this. I think this is a very important step. If mod_perl 2 can find it's way onto most major shared hosting providers, then we'll see it's usage increase and, hopefully, we'll see more and more people using mod_perl instead of the traditional Perl/CGI route which will put Perl back on the speed map again in terms of web programming.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
