I'm using Apache HTTPd v2.4.29 with ModPerl 2.0.10 in production
without any major problems. We're also using PostgreSQL DBD with DBI
and ImageMagick, plus much more, but I mention these because DBI and
ImageMagick are particularly significant modules for a lot of sites.
I have noticed an improvement in performance, but it wasn't like
with switching from Apache HTTPd v1.3 to v2.0 many years ago, which,
as I recall, was a drastic improvement.
Before upgrading from Apache HTTPd v2.2 to v2.4, I highly recommend
refreshing your familiarity with the Order, Allow, and Require
directives. Also, if you're doing any authentication customization,
you'll want to take extra care with testing this as I believe the
authentication modules may have changed quite a bit too.
Upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2

I hope this helps.
