Given a choice I would always use mod_perl. It's a piece of piss to learn if you know perl well, and much more pleasant to code imo.
I've looked @ mod_perl and php. Yet to use either in anything useful though.

I prefer mod_perl but php is I think easier for a lot of people to learn because it's similar in implementation to VB from MS platforms.


mod_perl makes it difficult to host in a number of ways: commercial
mod_perl hosting is thin on the ground for security and performance
reasons, and setting up mod_perl is pretty tough for a lot of people.

I'd like to see these claims substantiated. Did you take a look at the netcraft site for sites running mod-perl?

I have set up mod_perl within an apache 1.3.x installation on SuSE 8.3. I followed the documentation and got there. The learning process helped improve my understanding of the httdp.conf file and uses of modules in Apache. None of which is useless knowledge.
