While I think the differences between mp1 and mp2 are very slight for an experienced mod_perl developer, they are just enough to cause some serious confusion for the less experienced. I do agree that people will probably still be porting from mp1 to mp2 in 5 years, I don't think that is a compelling reason to start with mp1. Much like there are still people using Perl 4 code in production, but I wouldn't take that a reason to not use Perl 5. Also, all major Linux distributions that I am aware of are now coming with Apache 2, not Apache 1. I'm using mp2, so you now know at least one person! :) And I'm sure I'm not the only one. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wiles.org --------------------------------- -- 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
