People who understand the internals enough to _know_ when an app is better one way or the other have no trouble with converting them. People who are starting with other people's code and trying to warp it off of the assumptions that lay under it whilst being built likely aren't in that class.

So merlyn's question was fair, Why do that?

And btw, even though I helped on the mod_perl project early on and use it every day, I agree that it isn't for every project. If persistence is your main goal and the total count of scripts is low and you have no reason to hook into the server itself, mod_perl is an awfully big stick to hit your project with. =)
