You say eventually perl 5.8 will be recommended. Why is it not the recommended version now?
I am developing a windows application currently and started out with activestate perl 5.6.1, apache 2, and mod_perl 1.99. I ran into a lot of problems and blamed them on mod_perl because it is still rather new. Things have progressed smoothly enough using apache versions 1.x and mod_perl 1.x I didn't think of trying perl 5.8, but would be glad to if that is going to help things. I would like the capabilities that Apache and mod_perl 2.x give.

However, it worked as expected using the perl-5.8/Apache2 binary of perl-5.8-win32-bin.tar.gz under ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/. As there's issues with threads on Win32 with perl-5.6.1, eventually perl-5.8 will be the recommended Win32 Perl for mod_perl-2; if possible, you may want to give this a try. -- best regards, randy kobes
