I just want to add some clarifications to Per Einar comment.

Are we looking for not strictly mod_perl but closely related material, 
which matters to the majority of mod_perl programmers?

The short answer:

Tutorials -> yes
manpages  -> no
articles  -> take23.org

The long answer:

Tutorials cover some interesting topics using several implementations. 
Tutorials are pretty much static and don't require much maintenance. We 
heartly welcome these. The ongoing discission of MVC is a good example 
of a tutorial candidate, templating comparison and *generic* tips and 
tricks are other ones.

Manpages, which aren't the core module are not very welcome at this 
moment, as they usually require high level of maintenance, and we have 
hardly resources to cope with perl.apache.org. So at least for now, 
manpages aren't welcome.

If you have feature tutorials, either submit those to take23.org or any 
other online zine. perl.com is looking for such articles. so does 
apacheweek.com. probable there are others.

The new perl.apache.org is not a dump place for docs. The more 
irrelevant stuff we throw there the less added value the site will have, 
the harder it'll be to find something and the whole idea of expanding 
docs will do more bad than good. So new tutorials are definitely 
welcome, but re-read the first para to see the definition of a good 
candidate and so the existing tutorials at:
http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/tutorials/index.html
before submitting your tutorial. If your idea of tutorial doesn't fit 
into perl.apache.org's tutorial's idea, we will gladly link to it.

---

Now back to the topic. If you can submit to us known problems with 
browsers and solutions that would be great. But please don't submit the 
Apache::Dynagzip manpage.
