Yeah well php sucks in any case, for many reasons that are OT to this thread. Perl / mod_perl on the other hand can work quite well with mod_worker (threads) sharing many thing including all the non-mutable data, this is because Perl in general is thread safe. Using mod_worker with mod_perl can mean the difference between serving a few hundred simultaneous request to a few thousand, on the same exact hardware. Not all Perl modules are thread safe however, and in any case most thread implementations in Unix, including FreeBSD, are a potentially leaky by nature, but you can use the MaxRequestsPerChild directive (and others) to fine-tune the growing of your processes/threads. > -Mike > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
