Thanks for your quick response. I was informed that we were not
running mod Perl, but at the same time the env hash indicated we were, so I
really was not clear. Sorry.
So, I'll try and clarify my question. We would like to take advantage
of caching with PERL, and make use of the DBI packages as well. It
would seem that there is duplicity that needs to be resolved here. The env
hash for apache indicates we're running Perl ver 5.00503. I
installed ver 5.8 to get the DBI stuff working. The mod_perl is part
of the apache configuration that was there when I came on board. It would
seem to me that we need to upgrade the apache/Perl relationship so that the env
hash and programs recognize Perl 5.8.
Question: Do I need to recompile anything, or are there just a couple httpd
vars that I could change so that we can cache Perl 5.8?
I've got some other apps that use CGI and HTTP modules associated with perl
5.00503. They don't appear to work with PERL 5.8 as configured on my
machine. I'd like to get these working with PERL 5.8 as well.
Another related question: Just to understand part of your response.
Looks like I'm already ok with current versions of apache and mod_perl at 1.3.19
and 1.25?
How are things in grand old England?
Thanks,
Charlie

Question: Even though I have PERL 5.8 installed, we wish to get mod_perl
installed to make use of caching.
Currently, a listing of the %ENV hash indicates that we're running
mod_perl/1.25. PERL 5.8 is also listed out in the PERL5LIB env
variable in httpd.conf.
Is it correct assume we'll see a speed up after upgrading mod_perl?
IF not, what else might need to be done to acheive a performance improvement with caching PERL.

My configuration includes:

PERL 5.8, DBI 1.3 and DBD::Oracle 1.12, Oracle 9.0.1
SunOS
5.8 Generic 108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW, Ultra-80, Apache 1.3.19
mod_perl/1.25

Your question is not clear. It depends on what you're doing with it.
If you're already using mod_perl then simply upgrading it won't give
you a substantial performance improvement.
Read the mod_perl Guide, you'll find it at the mod_perl home page
http://perl.apache.org and it tells you a lot about performance
tuning and other useful stuff.

You should upgrade to the latest versions of Apache and mod_perl
(versions 1.3.x and 1.2x, not mod_perl 1.99 which is really 2.0x:)
There have been problems now and again with SunOS but don't let
me worry you about that, it might not happen.

Ged.
