[snip] Thank you, Jonathan, for your more detailed explanation. I have to say, I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I've used PHP for some years to create interactive web sites with some success, but having read about the significant performance boost available from mod_perl, I bit the bullet, and used PERL for the first time on my current project. Had I known then what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered :-( I don't even like the language much, but I'm sure that's a personal thing. It looks then like I have two options: 1. abandon mod-perl and just use cgi. 2. move the project to a server over which I have full control. (1) rather defeats the object of using PERL, and I am loth to acknowledge defeat; (2) adds significant expense, and extra effort, to the project. Bah - what a mess!
