Re: windows and apache/mod_perl?

I started out with apache1.x. It didn't make sense
using it, since apache2 was built to work with

understanding of the documentation. Plus, I read that
apache1.x doesn't serve concurrent requests on
windows. Doesn't that defeat a large part of what a
web server (and mod_perl) is supposed to do?

It does. But perl interpreters weren't thread-safe, so serialization is the only way to make it work at all. It is sort of a known fact that mod_perl 1.0 on win32 is not very useful in production.

See:
