Well, I'm taking the plunge. I have a brand new spiffy machine I'm configuring and I've decided, since for once I don't have to get it up and running urgently, to go the whole hog and move to the 2.0 world.
For me this means upgrading not only from apache 1.3x and mod_perl 1.2x but also from perl 5.005. I'm going to install 5.8 but am confused by an apparent contradiction in the mod_perl2 docs. In http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html it first says: Remember that threads support slows things down, so don't enable it unless you really need it. But then under 'Configuring and Installing Prerequisites' it gives an an example: % ./Configure -des -Dusethreads I'm confused. Where's the quick answer to whether or not I should use threads? I'm on FreeBSD 4.7. Thanks, - nick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nick Tonkin {|8^)>
