I think the comp.lang.perl.moderated newsgroup (and if not accepted by the first, comp.lang.perl.misc) used to be the best resource to discuss general perl things. It's been a while since I've last used it, so I'm not sure if it's still a good resource. If others can confirm that it's still useful, I'll add that resource to: http://perl.apache.org/docs/offsite/other.html#Perl If you know of other good resources for general perl discussions which aren't already listed at lists.perl.org please let us know and we will update that section. It's probably a good idea to link from http://perl.apache.org/help/index.html to http://perl.apache.org/docs/offsite/other.html to help direct those seeking help on other topics in the vicinity of mod_perl. > 2) I have one common approach to speed improvement that is not > mentioned at all, to do with symbol table manipulation for > functions, that I would like to polish via a list discussion > > - is this list appropriate for a thread discussing Perlish > performance in general?

It sounds good to me if it helps other mod_perl users to improve their code's performance. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
