+ Alek Komarnitsky (http://www.komar.org/) used mod_perl for
+ his christmas lights webcam that got worldwide attention as
+ bazillions of surfers not only viewed his thousands of
+ holiday lights, but turned them on and off via the Internet.
+ In 2002 and 2003, he had used regular CGI/Perl, which choked
+ under heavy load such as being Slashdotted. So for 2004,
+ he converted to mod_perl and ApacheBench testing showed a
+ 5 fold increase in the number of sustainable connections/second
+ - "why didn't I do this earlier!" While Alek finally had to
+ disclose that it was all a fun little hoax
+ (http://www.komar.org/xmas/hoax/), the use of mod_perl was
+ real and enabled a single 2.4 Xeon running Linux/Apache to
+ continue providing dynamically generated content (complete
+ with images that "appeared" to be changing) despite a ton of
+ interest (http://www.komar.org/faq/slashdot-effect/2004-christmas/).
+ While he doesn't know if Santa uses mod_perl, it was
+ certainly helpful in Alek's attempt to provide some
+ christmas cheer (http://www.komar.org/xmas/email_santa/2004-christmas/)
+ to people around the world.
