Ok, but it would be nice if there was The mod_perl site. People will find perl.apache.org from google and all the docs pointing there anyway. >:: b) a non-biased comparison with PHP and Java and other >:: server solutions > >+0 >Dodgy area this - we don't want a page that incites flame-wars and I >note that you wrote "non-biased" Bill.

Ok, maybe biased toward other technologies ;) Imagine you know nothing about mod_perl or PHP or Java or whatever. It would be, eh, refreshing to find on the mod_perl site something saying telling you that you don't need mod_perl if you are only want to build a simple but fast site. PHP is great and popular but may not scale like mod_perl and doesn't give anytyhing besides content handling. Something like that. Like going into a store and instead of telling you they have what you want, they tell you that maybe the store next door has something better for your needs. Is that Silly? >:: a example of a handler (which can be done in a <perl> section) > >-1 >redundant... surely? There's enough documentation for this already. Ok, point to Take23's into. But I think someone going to the mod_perl site might expect to find a simple tutorial. I'm talking about showing how to get a content handler to work in about three or four paragraphs. Something that makes someone thing "Gee, that's easy, I can do that." I'm have to pack for skiing now. -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
