in thread Poster child applications?

So how do you explain that? Why do people consistently choose PHP over Perl?

You don't find a lot of hosting sites willing to give you mod_perl for $4.95 a month, and there aren't a lot of monolithic mod_perl applications you can just drop in a directory and run without configuring anything else.

    I'm no expert, but a non-mod_perl installation is still feasible, right? I run a few low traffic Perl scripts on shared hosting and they seem to be pretty quick. But now that you mention it, that's what just about killed Perl on the web: mod_php is safe for shared environments and mod_perl isn't.
