You can get the same general effect, more simply, by running a high-performing pre-forking Perl web application server and a web server with a simple configuration in front of it ,instead of a complicated Apache+mod_perl installation. > > That also buys you a nice separation of concerns, the web server handles all the complicated host or path rewrites and access control and the Perl app focuses on responding to the, now-sanitised, fully normalized, HTTP requests. > Not really and the separtion is not a concern, it is an asset, the most important one.
