I've seen that too. Some engineering managers have an absolute phobia when it comes to Perl. But some of these same managers turn right around and extol the virtues of Ruby. Go figure. As far as I can tell, beyond a lot of syntactic sugar the two are virtually indistinguishable - except tha

My information is not up to date -- I looked into this a year or so ago. With the prefork MPM, connection pooling is a problem because of the way the Apache process model works. With a threaded MPM, the situation is different. I think the preferred approach (and I don't know how well it work

Re: Sample Web Application that uses mod_perl

mod_perl has been out for over 10 years. There are a couple of O'Reilly books that describe it in detail. The book you probably want to look at is "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern, which came out in 1999. It contains a lot of examples of mod_perl

OK this is my third message today, hopefully it will be the last. I've built Apache 2.2.3 and mod_perl 2.0.3 with libapreq 2.08 and the worker MPM. There appears to be some kind of race condition at startup that prevents the server from coming up. This only happens once in a while, and can b

"...uses more memory over time..." Hmm, sounds like an actual leak to me, unless there's some justification for it. I agree that the problem is probably in someone's XS somewhere. But a leak is a leak and is bad. d Perrin Harkins wrote: On Wed, 2006-08-16 at 13:3

Memory leak != memory hog. The leak could indicate instability and is a much higher priority than "a measly couple of KB". Even little leaks need to be plugged. d Joel Bernstein wrote: On Wed, Aug 16, 2006 at 03:24:32PM -0500, Matthew wrote: Memory is cheap / CPU is cheap My bos
