As you may know, the work on the new mod_perl site started in
September 2001, and after almost a year we are glad to present to you
the outcome of this work at the expected location:

   http://perl.apache.org/

and say "good bye" to the old site, which has now retired, but still can
be retrieved from http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/modperl-site/.

This new site is a result of a collaborative effort of the mod_perl
community. Thank you all! Without you the new site won't be as good as
it is now.

Special acknowledgements go to the following folks:

The new mod_perl site's goal wasn't only to create a nice design, but 
mainly to improve its documentation organization and navigation aspects,
because of the ever-growing amount of documentation that the mod_perl
community generates.

One of the important new features is that any documentation 
modifications are now almost instant, so you don't have to wait for the 
next guide's release to get the latest fixes and improvements. We also 
hope that the new site will bring more contributors to the documentation.

You will find the mod_perl documentation under 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/ which is split into sections specific to 
mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0, and a section for general docs which apply to any 
mod_perl generation. Under each generation specific you will find 
another separation for user documents, core developers, API and 
OS-specific docs, which didn't fit into general docs. The new tutorials 
sections sports a few interesting features, which aren't strictly 
mod_perl but very useful to most mod_perlers.

And of course we now have the feature: "What's mod_perl":
http://perl.apache.org/start/index.html, which is our "newbie 
orientation" procedure, which they hopefully find useful.

If you would like to build the site locally, read:
http://perl.apache.org/download/docs.html

If you have any questions regarding the use of the new site, read:
http://perl.apache.org/help/help_with_site.html

For other questions see:
http://perl.apache.org/help/index.html

I'd like to point your attention to the 'Short Cuts' menu on the left,
which I hope you will find useful. The main menu includes the 'Site
Map' and of course use the force^H^H^H^H^Hsearch if you don't know
where to find things.

The site includes many more new features,  I don't want to spoil your 
(hopefully pleasant) surprises.

Enjoy your new site, mod_perlers, and please help to spread the word.
