So it's (1) ActiveState, (2) one of the All-in-one packages mentioned, or (3) build your own. Or - as announced by the originator of this thread - (4) Strawberry mod_perl. I stumbled upon a blog post, which may or may not be relevant, or rather like the domain name indicates: The Rise and Fall of mod_perl http://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com/archives/1303 The title is badly chosen, as it doesn't deal with any rise or fall of mod_perl, but only with the author's experiences of using mod_perl on Windows. Could be summarized as follows: * crashes and leaks running mod_perl on Windows (maybe just FUD, no indication it was specific to Windows) * could be fixed * desire to use Strawberry and CPAN instead of ActiveState and PPM (the former possibly being more convenient to use) * no success building mod_perl against Strawberry (no need to do this any more now as Strawberry offers mod_perl binaries now) * more crashes on mod_perl/Windows with a Catalyst app * switch made from mod_perl to Pure Perl Server plus Apache/mod_proxy Relevant or not, this story makes me ask the following questions: Are there any people on this list using mod_perl 2.0 on Windows? Do you have any positive or negative experiences to share? -- Michael Ludwig
