It is declining - but that is that very few people used even 1% of it's
functionality - they just used it to have a perl interpreter embedded in the
webserver. It is and never was a web framework - it was more fundamental than
that - it add functions to
Perl but you could do what you wanted with it....
Plack (and Dancer) and Mojolicious are what most seem to be using now. These
are good but lose a lot of the functionality that mod_perl has to offer {but
then most people didn't use those parts anyway}

I'm not sure what you're asking.
Do some people still use it for web development? Yes, most definitely. However,
I think it's safe to say it's declined in popularity compared to other Perl web
development frameworks such as Plack and Mojolicious and obviously other
non-Perl web frameworks, but it's still used by some web developers.
Is mod_perl still maintained? Yes. The latest release (2.0.12) was released in
late January 2022.
Later,
Ed
