Fully acknowledging Fletch's decision to add a "top-level post," above two (so far?) that have now been downvoted out of existence, I think that the fundamentals remain: is mod_perl really relevant anymore?

These days, our technical world has exploded into things like "micro-services." Even within our web-sites, security and other concerns have prompted us to build "defense in depth." And, accompanying and supporting such concerns, we now have "PSGI," and corresponding technologies in every other mainstream web technology. Apache modules such as mod_php seem to be dying equally fast. Maybe there's a lesson to be learned here. And, maybe we should not fight it. Maybe the days really have "passed" when we found material advantage in embedding (any...) interpreter wholesale within an Apache worker process, "in order to avoid a CGI fork." Maybe those days, and those concerns, really are "gone" now.
