Re: Future MPM Support?

Unfortunately Plack (and Catalyst especially) are a fairly poor 
comparison to using mod_perl properly {unfortunately very few people do 
so} I've looked at Dancer and Catalyst - both are OK at what they do - 
but they don't really handle things in the really clean easy way that 
mod_perl does {if you attach code to the right handlers/filters} meaning 
chopping in and changing code can be quite difficult in them.

Both are good for simplish applications {yes and I've seen complex apps 
written in them as well - but they usually need a lot more hardware 
support than the equivalent mod_perl app to cope with demand}

Unfortunately writing good mod_perl apps is hard - and so few mod_perl 
apps really make use of the underlying framework properly - effectively 
using it for code caching and not much else
