any special setup for mod_perl 1 + apache 1 under virtual host? it works but my impression is that it is hard to setup and must be coded very carefully.
It's not hard to setup, and it doesn't require any special coding practices beyond any other long-running perl program. Since there is only one interpreter running in each child process, you can't do crazy things like load two different versions of the same module. If you wanted to do that (say you want to have your staging code and your production code), the easiest approach is to run multiple apaches. There's a lot of documentation and suggestions about this in the docs on perl.apache.org and in the mod_perl books.
that's probably the reason why i rarely see mod_perl offered in share dhosting environment.
If you're looking for cheap hosting, try looking for one that offers you your own virtual machine with full access. Those are pretty inexpensive. - Perrin
