I'm using mod_perl 2 with ActivePerl for development. It works fine with one exception: I have to set in my httpd.conf:
PerlInterpStart 1 PerlInterpMax 1 PerlInterpMinSpare 1 PerlInterpMaxSpare 1 In other words I'm not able to make any use of more than 1 core, which is not bad for development, but very bad for production. Setting other values (including defaults) leads to Apache crash sooner or later. There is no such problems under Linux.

Doesn't sound too bad. So it's (1) ActiveState, (2) one of the All-in-one packages mentioned, or (3) build your own. Or - as announced by the originator of this thread - (4) Strawberry mod_perl. I stumbled upon a blog post, which may or may not be relevant, or rather like the domain name indicates: The Rise and Fall of mod_perl http://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com/archives/1303 The title is badly chosen, as it doesn't deal with any rise or fall of mod_perl, but only with the author's experiences of using mod_perl on Windows. Could be summarized as follows: * crashes and leaks running mod_perl on Windows (maybe just FUD, no indication it was specific to Windows) * could be fixed * desire to use Strawberry and CPAN instead of ActiveState and PPM (the former possibly being more convenient to use) * no success building mod_perl against Strawberry (no need to do this any more now as Strawberry offers mod_perl binaries now) * more crashes on mod_perl/Windows with a Catalyst app * switch made from mod_perl to Pure Perl Server plus Apache/mod_proxy Relevant or not, this story makes me ask the following questions: Are there any people on this list using mod_perl 2.0 on Windows? Do you have any positive or negative experiences to share? -- Michael Ludwig
