## Description: The mission of Perl is the creation and maintenance of software related to Dynamic websites using Perl ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, with low activity Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache Perl was founded 2000-03-10 (25 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 11 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Steve Hay on 2012-03-01. - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: The last release was mod_perl-2.0.13 on 2023-10-21. Future releases will be made as necessary. People are still interested in binary builds of mod_perl for Windows which I will look into soon. The removal of home.apache.org has knocked out the online archives of old builds; I need to find them a new home. Of course, this doesn't affect the source code release tarballs. ## Community Health: Mailing list traffic is low as usual, which is normal for a stable project like mod_perl. There will be some activity when a new Windows binary build is made, and more again whenever a new release is made.

I have received messages from people interested in new builds of mod_perl against perl-5.38, but nothing that requires a new release of mod_perl as yet. ## Community Health: Mailing list traffic is low as usual, though with an interesting thread looking at reasons for a perceived decline in mod_perl usage and reasons why it is still relevant.

Future releases will be made as necessary, but nothing has come to light in the last quarter requiring this. ## Community Health: Mailing list traffic is low but not unusually so, and mostly involves users asking questions on how to build and/or use the software, to which feedback is usually provided.

As predicted, activity has quietened down following the new release. Further releases will be made in due course, either when the trickle of commits amounts to a worthwhile new release, or if/when any critical changes are made. ## Community Health: Mailing list traffic is low compared to the previous quarter because of the release that was made in that quarter, but is otherwise at a normal level. There are some test issues still to be looked at: Some from the release, plus a new issue raised since then.

As expected, a new release was made in this last quarter with support for the recent Perl 5.38. Activity is likely to quieten down again for a while now, though there may be some follow-up activity to some test suite issues found when producing this new release. ## Community Health: Traffic on the mailing lists increased around the release time as people tried out the new release candidate and reported back on issues found. A couple of testers reported problems with mod_proxy and Apache::Test which will hopefully get looked at before the next release.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Steve Hay on 2012-03-01. - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: The last release was mod_perl-2.0.12 on 2022-01-30. New versions of Apache-Reload and Apache-SizeLimit have just been released and pulled into mod_perl, for which there is an RC1 now available for an impending release to support the new major version of Perl (5.38). In response to the board feedback on the last report: Yes, you understand it correctly. Perl is indeed not part of this project, and yes we are providing support for the new version of it now that it's been released. I do not see anything odd about this. ## Community Health: Mailing list activity has picked up a little in response to the release activity. This is normal for a stable project like mod_perl. I do not think a lack of activity in-between releases is a problem; it would only become a problem if no activity around release time prevented new releases from happening. That has not happened to date, and I don't expect it to happen in the near future either.

Hopefully a new release will be made soon, perhaps to coincide with the next major version of Perl (5.38) in the next month or two. ## Community Health: The mailing lists were quiet in this quarter, but will hopefully pick up a bit when a release is made.

There has been some increased activity around mod_perl recently and it must be time for a new release soon. ## Community Health: Recently increased community activity makes it a good time to make a new release, which in turn will hopefully feed back and generate further activity.

Some loose ends still need tidying up from that release, which will hopefully happen before its first birthday. ## Community Health: Mailing lists have had some more activity than usual lately, thanks to a new version of sealed.pm on CPAN and a new release of libapreq2. The latter had a regression bug reported via CPAN. Mostly things are fairly quiet in a stable project like mod_perl, but it's good to know that there are people still using it and reporting problems whenever they arise.

A few items from the process of making the last release still need to be tidied up, which I hope to get round to soon. ## Community Health: Mailing lists have been mostly quiet, though the occasional question from users does pop up, usually answered by other community members. When the loose ends from the last release are cleared up there should be a new release later in the year, which should provoke some more activity.

Hopefully a new release later in the year will cause another flurry of activity.

Hopefully we can now revisit a few minor items from the release candidate phase of this and the earlier Apache-Test release which were postponed in order to not delay the releases. ## Community Health: Various responses to requests for testing have left a few loose ends which can now be tidied up, including improvements to the INSTALL document. Some other improvements suggested by community members were incorporated into the release, such as a CONTRIBUTING.md file which causes a page of helpful links to be shown here: https://metacpan.org/dist/mod_perl/contribute, which should encourage more contributions from users in the future.

Apache-Test-1.43 has just been released and included into mod_perl, and a release candidate for mod_perl-2.0.12 has just been released. ## Community Health: A couple of long-term PMC members responded to the request for testing Apache-Test-1.43, and will hopefully also report their findings on the mod_perl-2.0.12 release candidate. Some issues with Apache-Test were reported by the community, but were passed over for now (in the interests of getting a release out without further delay) because they were existing problems. We will revisit those issues shortly.

Last addition was Steve Hay on 2012-03-01. - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: The last release was mod_perl-2.0.11 on 2019-10-05. It's been a quiet quarter for mod_perl, partly because I haven't got round to making the mod_perl-2.0.12 release yet. Filling in this report now is a useful reminder to me to do that. The release is needed because it contains an as-yet unreleased fix for building with the latest major release of perl (5.34.0). The fact that nobody has been complaining about this suggests to me that most users get their mod_perl builds from vendors who have already taken the fix from our repo. ## Community Health: A separate build problem for AIX has been resolved by a community member, which requires a minor change to our INSTALL document. I will incorporate that into the upcoming release as well. Otherwise it was quiet on the mailing lists. Hopefully the new release will drum up some activity soon.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 2:1. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Steve Hay on 2012-03-01. - No new committers were added. Last addition was Jan Kaluza in April 2013. ## Project Activity: The last release was mod_perl-2.0.11 on 2019-10-05. There was some activity surrounding a build breakage in the upcoming perl-5.34.0, for which we now have a fix, to be released in mod_perl-2.0.12 soon. There was further activity discussing the future of mod_perl, following a PMC roll call with a low response. ## Community Health: The mod_perl users list also joined the discussion on the future of mod_perl, with questions about mod_perl alternatives. It is clear that whilst there are many more modern alternatives available, none quite match the power and flexibility of mod_perl. Several users stepped up to express a willingness to serve on the PMC if necessary to keep the project alive, but none are yet committers. It is good to hear from people who are enthusiastic about the project and its survival, and we hope to encourage more code contributions in order to identify possible future committers and ultimately PMC members. Only 4 of the 11 PMC members responded positively to the roll call in March [1] (myself, Adam Prime, Fred Moyer and Philippe Chiasson). In an earlier roll in February [2], Philip M. Gollucci and Perrin Harkins both responded to say that they can no longer provide oversight. [1] https://s.apache.org/ua3cg [2] https://s.apache.org/v76rf However, given that https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#membersleave says, "It is not a problem to retain members of the PMC who have become inactive, and it can make it easier for them to stay in touch with the project if they choose to become active again," I do not feel that it is necessary or useful to remove those that didn't respond from the PMC roster.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Philippe Chiasson (gozer) to the office of Vice President, Apache Perl, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Philippe Chiasson from the office of Vice President, Apache Perl, and WHEREAS, Steve Hay (stevehay) has volunteered as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Philippe Chiasson is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Perl, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Steve Hay be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Perl, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7G, Change the Apache Perl Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.

--- mod_perl -- mod_perl 2.0.11 was released on October 5th 2019 -- Activity -- Nothing significant hapenning on the mailing-lists, as can be expected at this tine. Without significant bugs found or reported, it's not unusual to see this level of quietness. There has been a few lenghty conversations about the relevancy of Perl/mod_perl for web development in today's world. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual. Patches and bug reports are few, but keep on coming. -- Commiters -- Currently 22 committers. No new changes to the committer base since last report.

--- mod_perl -- mod_perl 2.0.11 was released on October 5th 2019 As is usually the case after a release, things have quieted down with no major bug or issues known. -- Activity -- Nothing significant hapenning on the mailing-lists, as can be expected at this tine. Without significant bugs found or reported, it's not unusual to see this level of quietness. As been shown before, even though the project is quite stable and generally quiet, when needed, the PMC members and commiters can mobilise and get things done. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual.

--- mod_perl -- mod_perl 2.0.11 was released on October 5th 2019 Since that successfull release, activity has quieted down a bit, as is usually the case. CVE-2011-2767 can be put to rest thanks to that release. -- Activity -- The activity levels went down a little, after a noticeable uptick leading up to the final release. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual.

--- mod_perl -- mod_perl 2.0.11 was released on October 5th 2019 This release contains multiple bugfixes and one notable security fix for CVE-2011-2767 Many thanks to Steve Hay for pushing this release through. -- Activity -- The activity levels went up a little, seeing many of the PMC members contribute feedback and test results on the 2.0.11 RCs Distros were quick at picking it up, as usual. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual. Patches and bug reports are few, but keep on coming. -- Commiters -- Currently 22 committers. No new changes to the committer base since last report.

--- mod_perl -- Apache-Test 1.41 was released on July 11th 2019 -- Activity -- Since the last report was late, there is very little activity to report to the board this time around. There was a flurry of activity surrounding the successfull testing and release of Apache-Test 1.41. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual.

--- mod_perl -- No new mod_perl 2.x releases since 2016-10. -- Activity -- Following last cycle's board feedback regarding the dormancy of this project, I performed a rollcall with the PMC and multiple hands were raised, beside my own. Like I pointed out before, I'd call the project stable and somewhat dormant at this time, but not devoid of interested and responsible PMC members. For the time being, I am not sure what concrete steps can be taken. Certainly open to suggestions, but I suspect for the time being, there is little that can be done. The project is still being used by numerous projects and organisations, it just doesn't see a lof of changes at the moment. There could be better support for httpd-2.4 onwards API parity, but that hasn't even really been raised by end-user much as an apparent concern. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual.

@Roman: pursue a PMC roll call @Daniel: also pursue the PMC roll call
--- mod_perl -- No new mod_perl 2.x releases since 2016-10. -- Activity -- This report doesn't have much more to offer than last time around. I am not sure how to describe the health of this project, it's not unhealthy in my opinion. Just dormant, missing developers willing to spend time on it. The project isn't done by any stretch of the imagination, there are still a lot of things to be implemented, especially since httpd-2.4. I am aware it's not an ideal situation for an ASF project, but for the time being, I am not sure what could be concretely be done to address this. As for specific comments from the board: The concert about sufficient PMC members available to step in, for instance in the case of a security issue, I can't be 100% certain here, but I can say that myself, for one, would make the necessary time and I do read the mailing-lists daily. The suggestion to possible join the httpd project, I am not sure what that would achieve. I think the most difficult issue with finding development resources is that not only it requires a very good understanding of httpd's internals *and* Perl's internals. I wouldn't necessarily be against it, but I am just not convinced it would achieve much. As for the overall issue of oversight, I've reached directly to the PMC to see if folks want to speak for themselves and I'll include their responses either in this report or the next. Most certainly open to all and any suggestions. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual. There was some growing interest in seeing some form of support for the event mpm, but that would be very tricky to implement robustly. Patches and bug reports are few, but keep on coming. -- Commiters -- Currently 22 committers. No new changes to the committer base since last report.

--- mod_perl -- No new mod_perl 2.x releases since 2016-10. -- Activity -- Another report similar to the last few, and late as well. I'd like to provide a great explanation as to the reason for this, but I have a somewhat difficult time to find one. It's honestly somewhat difficult for me to keep up with a project that is quiet like we've been for a while now. I believe the board has rasons to be concerned about the health of this project, but I am not sure what a good plan going forward could be. It's not that the project is dead, in my opinion, more like dormant. It works, it's being used by a large number of users, and is extremely stable. The current development resources towards new features is pretty low, however, that's for certain. I, for one, don't really do much more than keep an eye on the mailing-lists for troubling bug reports, but otherwise, that's about it. Regarding the active PMC members, I don't want to talk for anybody, but I suspect the situation is similar all around. The product/project just works and there are opportunities for new feature development, but there doesn't seem to much push for that either. I am not sure what could be done at the moment to change that state of affairs, really, short of having a sudden infusion of interest and development cycles. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is seeing little activity, as usual.

This, however, would be against existing release rules at the ASF. We have discussed a possible motion for the board to create an exception for some of the perl subprojects. Currently, a mod_perl-2.x release is made up of mod_perl itself, Apache-Test, Apache-Reload, Apache-SizeLimit and Apache-DBI. The PMC stil feels that these sub-modules need to be bundled as part of the mod_perl release, to provide users with a useful, self-contained package. However, since each of these sub-modules is a project in itself, releasing each of them requires a vote. So, for a typical release, the release manager has to create distributions for 4 modules, and get these voted on _before_ the mod_perl release itself can even start. In the past, this was not a big issue with a lot of active developers, but nowadays, these votes are much slower in coming around. Instead, what we are suggesting is to allow us to keep each sub-module separate in source-control, but treat a +1 vote on the assembled mod_perl release (including all modules) to effectively imply a +1 vote on release each of the sub-modules as well. The current proposed text of such an exception is: 'The mod_perl PMC petitions the ASF board to exempt the Apache::Sizelimit, Apache::Reload, Apache::DBI, and Apache::Reload modules to skip over the normal release rules governing ASF project releases and be released directly to CPAN. With the large number of sub-projects the mod_perl project has spawned, the number of votes to do a major mod_perl release can reach 12, which is 4x as much as some other ASF projects. Apache::Test continues to have participation from httpd core members, and as such is consistently able to get enough votes for releases, and does not need this exemption.' The PMC would like the board's opinion on this issue and help getting this issue resolved.
The exception to the approved voting process doesn't appear to be needed. A single vote covering the release of multiple related perl modules should suffice. If there are any questions, please discuss on board@.

Cliff Schmidt was included in the conversation but remained silent, but as far as I can tell everything Allison is doing seems to be in line with the ASF license (and she's more aware of what the license means than I am) so, short of official ASF legal counsel guidance, I think she's fine to, in essence, put in hard-copy the documentation anyone can find online.

-- mod_perl 1.0 -- The mod_perl 1.x is a maintenance track designed to work with httpd 1.3.x. It was an exciting quarter for mod_perl 1.x, as the first and only official security vulnerability for mod_perl was reported. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1349 The mod_perl 1.x svn repository was patched within hours of the initial report, with a full release available in under a week. All in all, things were handled very well, and the initial impressions of the severity of the vulnerability turned out to be far beyond the actual severity once things were properly analyzed. Recent releases: 1.30 - March 29, 2007 --- mod_perl 2.0 -- mod_perl 2.X is designed to work with all httpd 2.X branches.

Matt Sergeant completed the Inucbator software grant process as best we could all understand it, and Apache-Reload was imported into ASF repositories on April 23, 2007. We have not yet released Apache-Reload. -- Development -- mod_perl continues to be an active and healthy development community - bugs are found, bugs are fixed, development moves forward as usual. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is, as always, thriving. nothing noteworthy has happened since the last report. -- PMC -- the PMC invited long-time developer Steve Hay to join the project as a full committer. Steve accepted and was granted full karma to all mod_perl repositories at the ASF.

Perrin Harkins was able to provide a brief overview of the mod_perl 2.0 release for inclusion in the January 12, 2006 ASF press release. well done, everyone. finally, on a sad note, committer Slava Bizyayev passed away in January. Slava had commit access only to the documentation portion of the mod_perl project, but we deeply regret his passing.

Recent releases: 1.25 - June 17, 2005 1.24 - May 20, 2005 -- Development -- mod_perl continues to be an active and healthy development community. We added a new committer this quarter - Philip Gollucci - who has shown strong dedication to mod_perl, and other related projects such as httpd-apreq, as well as the ability to integrate seamlessly with our development process. Other than that, bugs are found, bugs are fixed, development moves forward as usual. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is, as always, thriving. The release of 2.0.0 was greatly anticipated but seems to have affected our userbase only minimally - most httpd 2.0 users had migrated their codebase using pre-releases and worked out the kinks beforehand. In general, users continue to associate mod_perl with quality, robust code, and are simply pleased to have a 2.0.0 release to show to their employers. On an interesting note, the ASF's incoming mail service is being handled by mod_perl 2.0 and Apache::Qpsmtpd. Prior to switching to mod_perl 2.0 the services were handled usign qpsmtpd-forkserver and were running continuous load averages > 70, with processes hanging and segfaulting, resulting in service delays and outages. Using mod_perl 2.0 and Apache::Qpsmptd the load averages are closer to 0.7, the mail service is no longer lagging, and everyone seems happy with the change. All of us over in mod_perl land are just happy to be doing our part to support the ASF. -- PMC -- Philip Gollucci was added as a committer on July 14, 2005, further expanding the number of active developers committed to mod_perl's future.
It was noted that Infrastructure is using Apache::Qpsmtpd which has been very successful. Jim mentioned that the "lessons learned" were being folded into the Google SoC SMTP protocol module effort.

Two mod_perl 2.0 release candidates (RC5 and RC6) were released during this quarter, bringing us ever closer to an official 2.0 designation. RC5 was an especially important milestone, as it included the implementation of namespace issues that were the subject of heated discussions last quarter. Due to outstanding development, documentation, and mailing list efforts the migration to the new namespace went off with very little user-land confusion or complaints - far less than I think any of the active developers anticipated. Development is, once again, moving forward, proving that mod_perl is an extremely healthy and uncommonly resilient community within the ASF. -- Users -- The mod_perl users list is, as always, thriving. As mentioned in the Development section, the major issue facing our userbase this quarter seems to have been met with little confusion or complaints. Most users who have adopted the namespace-changing release (RC5) have reported minimal development efforts required to upgrade, and have been very helpful to the rest of the user community. -- PMC -- no new pmc activity of note.

From: Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org> Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 16:25:09 -0800 * Releases mod_perl 1.29 was released on October 13. It is a security release that patches around a security issue introduced by the recently released Perl 5.8.1. The mod_perl 1.x is a maintenance track designed to work with httpd 1.3.x. mod_perl-1.99_10 was released on September 29 with a great deal of new features and bug fixes. The committers believe that this release is one of the last milestones before the long awaited 2.0 release. The mod_perl 1.99 series is a development track designed to become mod_perl 2.0; it works with httpd 2.0.x. Apache::Test 1.04 was released on September 29, and 1.05 was released on October 24. Apache::Test provides a framework which allows module writers to write test suites than can query a running mod_perl enabled server. It is used by mod_perl, httpd and several third party applications. * Development Development on mod_perl 2.0 and Apache::Test is moving at a healthy pace. The collaboration with Perl developers, much needed since mod_perl is quite tied to Perl's internals, has been excellent. mod_perl developers have expressed the wish that their relationship with httpd-dev evolve in the same direction. * Users As always the mod_perl user list is thriving. Usage is growing steadily, with 1.6M or 4.7M sites depending on which survey you look at. * PMC Philippe Chiasson was unanimously voted in as a new PMC member on October 14.
There was some discussion on whether the board should revisit the PMC chair change. The general agreement was that we should wait to hear from Eric first.
Reported accepted by general consent.
No report was received. This sparked discussion regarding the current status of the Apache Perl Project. Greg was to contact Doug regarding the project's status and Doug's present involvement with the project.
* mod_perl-1.99_09 has been released * Apache::Test, the library portion of the httpd-test perl-framework has been released to CPAN. * New committers: - Philippe M. Chiasson - Randy Kobes * the number of support questions related to the 2.0 version continue to grow at a steady rate along with reports of using it in production. Some reports suggest a much better performance thatn mod_perl 1.0. * The mod_perl-1.0 generation (mod_perl-1.27) just works. No problems reported.
