Okay, that may be an issue because SuExec does not work with mod_perl. Each apache daemon can only run mod_perl processes as a single user, but that user can be any user you choose. You would never set them to run as root, because that would be a security problem. > So mod_perl is safe.... Ok. one other question. If I do upgrade to > Mod_Perl, can I still run regular Perl scripts Yes, and you should still be able to run them with SuExec. As George said, there is quite a bit documentation on the perl.apache.org site that may help you. - Perrin
