I have to add my voice to the growing chorus here.  As it stands, we are 
forced to choose between mod_perl and HTTP/2.  At the moment, our shop 
has chosen to keep mod_perl, but I share the above concerns, and I'd 
rather see mod_perl be ready if there is ever a major cultural shift / 
push to HTTP/2 in the broader market.
