Just for the list lurkers, what's the relationship
between AxKit2 and TomKit? Is there any?
There isn't really any.
TomKit was born out of Tom's frustration that we had made no progress
porting AxKit to Apache2/mod_perl2. He offered it as a potential base
for us to start with. As yet TomKit has no configuration directives
(probably the hardest part of a port), and no XSP, and the API for
everything is different to AxKit1.
AxKit2 was born out of my desire to build a perl httpd that scales,
plus build the AxKit2 that I wanted given my experiences with AxKit1.
It ended up that what I really wanted was a trivial way to say "Do
some XSP, then some XSLT on the result" and "Cache this thing", but
in perl, without any magic.
The beauty of this approach is that I figure it won't be long until
someone comes along and builds an AxKit1-a-like using the AxKit2 API.
But hardcore users will still have the low level stuff to make it do
what they want.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions.
