Hi,

I have read the following in O'Reilly's "Practical mod_perl":

To compress only outgoing static files, you can look at the mod_gzip and
mod_deflate modules for Apache.

I have asked on Apache's users mailing list, and they said that mod_deflate
can compress dynamic content also.

Why is it suggested to use the following method for compressing the content
when using mod_perl?

SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::OutputChain Apache::GzipChain Apache::PassFile
</Files>

Wouldn't be easier to use mod_deflate?

Thanks.


Teddy
