There are a variety of servers using Plack which can handle heavy
loads and are both better documented and easier to manage than
Apache. You can see a list at:
<https://plackperl.org/>
One big advantage to Plack is *not* having to become a walking
encyclopedia of Apache2 internals. Shoving structs around was the
only way we knew in the 80's, mod_perl was just an extension of
"pass a struct" and keep going. Plack provides an abstraction that
at least I find simpler to program with and things like Dancer2
give you the opportunity to munge the incoming request in all sorts
of ways to handle messy situations. Beyond that take a look at the
servers listed on Plack's website.
