yes, mod_perl 1.99_XX is the "mod_perl 2.0" you are looking for, which is the only version of mod_perl that will work with Apache 2.0. mod_perl 1.29 works only with Apache 1.3.X. > I bought a book that are suggested by the mod_perl web page: > http://www.modperlcookbook.org/ > This book is using 1.26, it is mod_perl 1.2.

Should I use this book to > learn mod_perl 2.0? the short answer is that the cookbook is good for lots of things, many of which are almost exactly the same between mod_perl 1.0 and mod_perl 2.0. the longer answer is here http://www.modperlcookbook.org/modperl2.html > I found nearly nothing on the web for 2.0 > documentation. there is tons of information here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/index.html you can also find some interesting things here: http://www.perl.com/pub/au/Young_Geoffrey HTH --Geoff -- 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
