Because php, perl and some other things don't work without problems...PHP even doesn't have official apache2 support with it's latest version (don't know about mod_perl...there is a mod_perl beta for apache2 but that's it..)...
It'll take some time until most things support apache2 without problems...
My guess (but I and nobody else knows exactly when  ) for a unmasked apache2 ebuild is by the end of the year sometime in october/november as it currently _cannot_ be replace apache 1 completly (for many people for sure, but when making apache2 standard it should be safe for all users to upgrade not only for xx %) |

PHP is definitely no problem with Apache2, my self was using Apache2 and PHP a long time by compiling it myself. And it really worked without any problems.....
Why I don't use Apache2 anymore? Hm... I moved to Gentoo and it didn't support it, I asked a lot here in the forum, but it really look as I'd be mostly the only one seeking a production server with apache2.
And, as of the ChangeLog of that ebuild sais, the only problems seem to be some path issues -- and mod_perl probably, dunno.

I have both installed (on my Mandrake server) and use the 2.0 as front-end. Everything perl and php gets proxied to the 1.3.
I have this idea that it must be more secure because most of the URLs will not get proxied and thus not run through as much (potentially vulnerable) code.
I was planning on something similar with Gentoo, either by manual install or through some clever USE-flag manipulation before merging 
I had luck compiling 2.0.39 with php 4.2.1. and mod_perl 1.99.04, but had no such luck with 2.0.40 (tried with php 4.2.2 + SAPI-fixes as well as their latest cvs snapshot). I'd be interested if someone manages to get it to work, as I'd actually prefer two 2.0-installations over the mixed one I'm using now. |

Many people are using mod_perl so...
But we'll see ... It'll work sooner or later  |

Vulnerabilities in Apache 1.3 are still being fixed, so I wouldn't worry. Don't trust random people on the internet thought :). |
