Lets say I find the latest mod_perl rpm. - Is there a mod_perl rpm for redhat?
- If yes, is the redhat rpm different than other rpm? - I don't know anything about configuring mod_perl;so, is the /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf the only configurable I need to worry about on upgrading? - Do I just un rpm the previous version and add the new or do I just add the latest rpm? thanks -rkl > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> I have redhat 9 with mod_perl-1.99_07-5. > > That's more than a year out of date, and many bugs have been fixed since > then, as you can see here: > http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current/Changes > > If you plan to do anything much with it, you should upgrade to the most > recent release (or switch to apache 1.x and mod_perl 1.x if you need a > stable platform). > >> Without loading any other library than the one loaded with redhat, Is >> there a session variable and how can I hold a persistence object? > > No, there is no concept of a session built into mod_perl.
