I'm not the OP, but I'm guessing he's referring to the fact that it's far more likely that you're going to tweak a web-app than some "system binary". Therefore, implementation does matter. Also, many people are already running mod_perl; it's nicer to leverage that than to configure additional modules. In my expereince, mod_perl + apache interaction is more stable than PHP + apache, especially across upgrades. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] prepBut nI vrbLike adjHungarian! qWhat's artThe adjBig nProblem? -- alec flett @netscape
