Yes, as there are several similar things for Apache/perl (such as Plack/PSG=
I).



But these frameworks only do *partially* what mod_perl allows one to do.>


An essential part of mod_perl (and something for which I believe there is n=
o equivalent in

*any* language), is the ability to insert itself deeply into Apache httpd, =
and controlling

what happens inside httpd at virtually any stage of an HTTP request process=
ing.



This page : html" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">https://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0=
/user/handlers/http.html

contains a diagram of all the "phases" which a HTTP request goes =
through in Apache httpd.

WSGI/PSGI Frameworks give you access to what happens in the bottom "re=
sponse" block.

mod_perl gives you access to what happens in *all* the blocks.



For many developers, being able to act at the Response stage is enough, and=
in such a

case, they will be happy with what a WSGI/PSGI/proxy solution provides.



However, if you want to do deeper things within Apache httpd (such as for i=
nstance create

your own authentication/authorization mechanism, or creating your own input=
/output

filters), and you want to do that using perl as a language, then mod_perl i=
s your thing.
