mod_perl is only aprt of perl for the web .. plain old perl run as a CGI
is kewl too ...
So who do you see this site and development being aimed at? who is your
target audience?? .. sysadmins? .. (any clueful sysadmin would have litle
or no trouble installing Apache and perl/mod_perl .. my last half dozen
or so apache installs have gone in just like that ..) .. would -be
-newbie web develpers? .. managers and PHBs?? .. they wont understand the
first word ..especially if has more than two syllabubs ...
I'm not trying to be negative .. but I think it would be a good idea to
define your target audience before deciding on the direction of the site.
Its all too easy to decide on a strategy and then try and find an
audience that fits the bill, .. much better to do it the other way around.
