we all know there are so many technologies for web programing, ASP,PHP,Python,Java etc. what makes one choose mod_perl over others? why learn/use mod_perl, why mod_perl instead of php etc. a section about these on perl.apache.org would be good intro to people who curious about mod_perl. I think php is used more often because it does most of the small to medium projects just fine and it does easier. at least that's what i heard ( i dont have any expereience on php ). I also likes Stef's idea about adding user comments for doc. hope it can happen. hmm, does mod_perl still have problem running for virtual hosts? people choose php over cgi for obvious reason. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
