I have noted a striking up tick in FUD against things Perl, particularly in the form of "concern trolling". While it may seem Perl and the community is in a fragile state, it's also obvious when a coordinated effort - perhaps years or just months in the making rears its head. It can take many forms from attempting to mothball things like mod_perl or make or even cause problems on p5p and waste developer/disucssion time that takes away from the power of Perl and its community. I am not saying this is actually happening, but the community has taken quite a few hits in the last decade or two. The call to put mod_perl in Attic came seeming out of the blue on an ASF email list that traditionally is very low volume. Why? I ask "why" a lot - but it just seems to be coming at a fever pitch. So whomever you are (and I don't really mean this ^ anonymous monk), realize there are plenty of eyes here and all around the 'net.
