A lot of that stuff is preaching to the converted. Take the mod_perl related talks at ApacheCon this year. It seemed like 95% of the people that attended any of the mod_perl related talks were already running mod_perl, and wanted to learn more. Perrin's talk, and Geoff's Testing PHP with Perl were obvious exceptions, but neither of those struck me as the kind of talk that was going to get people to switch to mod_perl.
To be quite honest, how many people didn't stumble into the mod_perl community while trying to find a way to make their existing perl CGI run faster? How many sites (like slashdot afaik) never got past running things in registry? Does the mp-advocacy list get any traffic at all anymore? adam -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 10:48 AM To: Kurt Hansen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mod_perl marketing anyway, I didn't want to make this about our book in particular. but when I hear about people who _still_ think that mod_perl is some CGI interface I get really bothered, since there is so much out there (books, articles, documentation, conference talks, etc) that tell the real story but that people consistently overlook. -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
