That's awesome!

Are you open sourcing it?

I hadn't planned on open sourcing it - I was partly doing it to learn the
technologies myself - so it's not in a polished enough state to be open
sourced. But I'll keep that in mind and try to clean up the code so that
eventually it can be open sourced.

thanks!

I'm a believer that open sourcing something is the process by which it
becomes polished. There's a saying that CPAN is successful because of
the volume of sh*t uploaded to it, not in spite of it. I'd say don't
worry that it isn't polished - working code > pretty code.

And I’d like to just poke at it to see what a working mod_perl site looks like, because all the programming examples I’ve ever found are pretty trivial.

Yes, it's easy to make a website that only ever says ‘mod_perl rocks’ :-/

This is a captive portal I wrote in mod_perl -
https://github.com/redhotpenguin/App-SilverSplash

Here's a backend app I wrote for managing ads on wifi networks -
https://github.com/redhotpenguin/SL/tree/master/SL-App

Both are far from polished - I'm sure you can find better examples out there :)
