Harmful, in that when a PHB reads "Perl is dead, PHP roxors!" as
stated by otherwise knowlegable sources, we lose another opportunity
for a Perl design win. Yes, in an ideal world, it's not the PHBs that
pick the technology, but very few of us seem to live in an ideal
world.
Perhaps if mod_perl announced itself by default, but a simple
directive turned it off? Then at least the statistics for it would be
in the same meaningless camp as mod_php. :)
Seconded, this would prevent an even worse situation - proud m_p
advocats making up our own inconsistent headers!
We could always follow the Jedi and make up some random header
("mod_jedi/1.0.1")... in britain there was a national census which
included a question on religion - after what started as a joke spread
like wildfire there are now about 100000* recorded followers of the Jedi
religion here.
