Where? Where do you see it that you are not seeing Perl represented? Keep track, and then we'll have some targets to pursue for placing articles. > In my opinion mod_perl definitly needs a lot of extra PR. My intention was that mod_perl would be talked about in the larger context of Perl, as the standard way to build web apps. There could be an ad promoting web development with mod_perl, one promoting Bioinformatics use, one promoting use in financial companies, one for sysadmin and DBA use, etc. If you notice, no one talks about mod_php. Instead they talk about PHP. That's because mod_php is just some glue code that lets you run PHP in apache, just like mod_perl lets you run Perl. I already run into people who know Perl and think that mod_perl is some other language they would have to learn, and that's not good. > With this background, I found the documentation on mod_perl 2 > difficult for a new user. As you say, this is partly because you chose to start with Apache/mod_perl 2. The documentation for mod_perl 1 is more approachable for newbies at the moment, and it is where I would point any new person wanting to learn mod_perl. > Maybe another idea (a lot of small things can sometimes make big > differences, and it's all about the big difference): If I'm correct > there are no specific mod_perl logo's available. They're in the "About mod_perl" section: http://perl.apache.org/about/link/linktous.html - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
