actually mod_perl 2.0 is in release candidate stage. It won't be long now til it's a production release. In fact, there are many companies/organizations that have been using mp2 in production for some time.

It really depends on what your needs are. Most of the development work is being done on mp2, and mp1 is pretty much in feature freeze. Also, mp2 has many more features than mp1. So if you need features and flexibility, than mp2 is probably the way to go.

You are right that there are more tutorials, books and documentation for mp1 than mp2 (mostly because the api is almost identical in most instances). Also, there are a lot more people familiar with mp1 than mp2, so if that is more along your speed then go with mp1.
