I'm interested in hearing about what application frameworks (Catalyst, CGI::App, Mojolicious) are used here with mod_perl.
We currently support an open source corporate CMS called Metapoint http://www.metapointcms.com (derived from Metadot, derived from the original Redhat CMS) which runs on mod_perl 1.3 and mod_perl 2.0.x without change It is fully dynamic. supporting MySQL, Postgres, SQLLite and Oracle. It easily integrates with external systems including VOIP and and source control applications. It is easily extendible so that any code can be called through wrappers in perl modules. We do nothing fancy with mod-perl, everything is done with Apache::Registry. We use a fair number of Apache modules, including mod_deflate as Fred mentioned earlier. In order to leverage other programmers work we have spent a lot of time looking at web frameworks and have a prototype running under Catalyst. We will gradually port our code ( and clean up a lot of crap) to Catalyst and I hope to be running on it within a year. Years ago we compiled apache, mod_perl and our other modules from source but now we rely on the CentOS packages. I really have no interest in perl webservers per se but I would like to hear about other frameworks that may meet our needs. Mojolicious appears to be a little underdeveloped for what we want but I am willing to be corrected on this.
