True. I've apparently blocked out my memories of debugging gnump3d to

Running gnump3d as a CGI app is something I've considered -- but for my
purposes it would be so slow as to be unusable. I like gnump3d's usage
model, and everything else I've looked at (mod_mp3 included) are
intended for different uses.
The mod_perl route is a logical extension of "don't reinvent the wheel",
scales far better, and be far more configurable (especially WRT
security) but it also completely destroys GNUMP3d's simple setup -- one
of its greatest strengths.
It's the classic "scalability vs simplicity" and "features vs
simplicity" tradeoffs.
On the flip side, with the improved modularity that would come from the
HTML::Template rewrite, making it optionally run under mod_perl wouldn't
be that hard.
