Thanks to stu@, he's informed me that mod_perl is a big problem for OpenBSD modernising its Perl forward. So I'm going to try and move to FastCGI.
I can't find any info online about transition from mod_perl to FastCGI, so I'll have to work that out myself. Any useful links would be appreciated. Since I have been using Apache, I haven't paid any attention to base http. I have written modules to allow people to setup to make a purchase for online content, be transferred over to PayPal, pay. PayPal then sends me payment details which I have to send back to verify status of purchase. After that I create a username and password and email those plus a link to the customer. Privately, I have several databases that I use to form project assembly pieces that can then be combined in different ways to produce final, different complete project. Project labor is also worked out similarly. I also run two forums on outside software. I use PostgreSQL. I use Apache's httpd.conf and other confs to match Locations to the appropriate modules. Are there any problems getting something like this to work with base httpd? I run several different sites. The manual pages seem a little terse and unrevealing to me. I'm going to go study FastCGI myself now. Could anyone share some httpd.confs with me that do what I'm trying to accomplish? Any help appreciated, Chris Bennett
