Thats what I want. Writing native apache modules in a language less
tedious than C.
The core of the issue is that Apache isn't OO and that it is
difficult to interact in an OO way with software that isn't written
to be object oriented. ModPerl tries to do this somewhat, and I've
heard of attempts to create a C++ object oriented wrapper around the
Apache APIs, but in the end you do have to interface with C.
I'd recommend writing your own wrappers if you're planning on doing
much OO work with Apache modules. Personally, I just use non-OO C for
that stuff. Not because I like it, but because that's what works best
with the Apache server.
Sincerely,
Joachim
