Hello all, I'm new to the list, and I apologize if these questions seem too elementary, but I did not seem to be able to find definitive answers elsewhere.
I would like to start using mod_perl12, and I'm confident that I can figure out how to get it up and running (with plenty of written instruction), but I have one server to work with, and I'm nervous about crashing it. At this point I am just looking for speed benefit of mod_perl, so my configuration would be *very* simple. 1) Would I be making a big mistake in attempting this on a production server? Rebooting could be done during slow periods, but is it necessary to stop the server for an extended period in making the installation? Actually the mod_perl module is already available as a DSO, so it seems that it's just a matter of configuring httpd.conf and a few other adjustments. 2) Would the mod_perl installation affect more than just the one directory designated to run mod_perl scripts? IOW, would my other scripts, now running in the cgi-bin, be affected in any way? I figured on using an extension specific to mod_perl to try and avoid conflicts. I am mostly working from the information in "MySQL and Perl for the Web."
