Hi,

 I am wanting to set up an Apache Web Server with mod_perl.
I have a Mac G4 and a few questions.

 1)  I am wondering whether to use Linux-ppc or
Mac OS X as the OS.

 I am hoping that someone, (or a few of you) with experience on these
platforms,
 would let me know what you like or dislike about either.

 2)  I have not seen anyting about mod_perl w/Apache on OS X, but I assume
that since
OS X is Unix based that it would work.  Is that correct?

 3)  From the apple web site I saw the following comment --

"Also, Perl 5.6 (the BSD Unix version) will be included with Mac OS X,
eliminating
the need to install a separate freeware package for Perl capabilities like
MacPerl."

Then on this newsgroup, I was reading about the excitement over the release
of
MacPerl 5.6.1.
If the linux version of perl runs on OS X then why the buzz over the current
release of MacPerl?

Thank you very much for any help.

Thomas Whitney
