Additionally, comparing mod_perl to PHP/JSP is apples to oranges. If 
anything, people need to understand that mod_perl != CGI != markup 
languages. The more you compare them, the more you get of "mod_perl is 
losing to PHP!", which doesn't make sense, and works against mp. I'd 
like to see less of this and more education about mp and the Apache 
API.
