hello, i am doing a little research on adopting Perl into our dev group.
we are a small team (8) that mostly programming in Java . since half of the team has a little or ok knowlege of Perl, we have been experimenting Perl in smaller projects to avoid a lot of java related overhead. most of our app are serving other department staff or students (we are a big university) current Perl projects are written in plain cgi and hosted on one server serving small volume of people. we are exploring the idea of writing medium to large Perl apps in the future which will require mod_perl. the current environment is apache 1.3. having read modperl's doc and i am concerned about running multiple unrelated mod_perl apps on one server, such as 2 or 3 medium Perl apps. ( issue like database handler pollution etc which i know little about ) mod_perl 2 seems solve the problem with virtual host which will require us to adopt apache 2 and use virtual host. my understanding may be false but i would like to hear your point of view and help me figure out the problem we may have if we decide to use more Perl in our development. thanks, James. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
