I provide contracting services for a company who has a web-based (LAMP)
product.  Around a year ago, they got a big client who wanted the
webserver to run on a win32 platform.  They were using mod_perl for
registry services on the old setup, and I ported them to a windows
environment with mod_perl included.  They still only use it for registry
scripts, but they have 100 production servers already using it and hop[e
to have another 1000 in the coming year.

The only issue we encountered was an issue with mod_ssl that kept
killing the single child process (it would ressurect itself, but it
would take 30 seconds to do so which was too long), which we worked
around by ditching mod_ssl and setting up stunnel instead.
