+1.
Plack and other frameworks (TT2, Moose, Catalyst, etc.) cover the web application side, at 
different levels and in different ways.
But there is (to my knowledge) no equivalent for mod_perl's ability to interact deeply 
with the Apache internal Request processing logic.
In that respect, comparing mod_perl to Plack etc is like comparing apples to pears : not 
very relevant.
Considering that, for better or worse, Perl as a programming language does not seem to be 
really attractive to the current generation of software developers anymore, I would not 
really mind if some tool equivalent to mod_perl was developed using whichever other 
scripting language is currently more in fashion (javascript ? python ? ..), but it really 
seems a pity to "slowly abandon" mod_perl without providing some tool of equivalent power 
in terms of deep interaction with Apache httpd.
