I don't know what all of this has broken, but I looked at upgrading to Apache 2 and decided that I didn't want to go down the path of more complexity and bizarreness. So I've switched over to lighttpd aka "lighty".
Things will be slower for a little while 'til I switch to FastCGI, but I now have maintainable config files that I understand, and the resources devoted to basic web serving have dropped dramatically.

Okay, apologies for all of the "now it's working, now it's not working". I think we're there, I think we're substantially faster than with mod_perl thanks to SpeedyCGI, but I'm sure there are glitches still to be worked out.

Just testing again, tried a FastCGI hack.

Huh. Okay, the wacky thing is that although I see occasional hiccups in performance, benchmarks show the SpeedyCGI implementation as fastest despite the lack of database connection pooling. Very curious.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
