wrt API stability, recent 1.99_XX releases are very close to the way the official 2.0 release will look. those things that will change (either pre- or post-2.0) are APIs that the vast majority of people won't ever need. wrt "crashing"-type stability, mp2 is as stable as we can make it without people actually using it and finding things that only a real-world deployment can find. but we have had very few (any?) reports of random segfaults or crashes from those who have deployed it, so I guess we're doing something right :) 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
