if anybody wants to invest time in this, it must be done in 2.0.  the
framework is already there for multithreaded support, which will also work
for win32.  it just needs a build mechanism.

It is probably possible. ActiveState made PerlEx do it on Windows IIS 
multithreaded.

But someone has to care enough to put the work into it. If you care enough, 
you can contribute your time to making this happen. :)

Is mod_perl on win32 possible??

2001-04-27 Thread Kurt George Gjerde

Hi again (and thanks to everyone who replied to my last post).

Is it at all possible to get mod_perl to work PROPERLY on win32?

Using multi-threading?

Since win32 can't fork, Apache here uses multi-threading. This actually
works very well... except for mod_perl which doesn't use multi-threading
itself.

This means that if one page takes a long time to deliver, all other
requests will have to wait in line! ...making mod_perl unusable.

Is it possible to create a multi-threaded mod_perl handler or won't this
help?

Or does there exist binaries of Apache for win32 that use forking?

Or do I have to set up a linus/bsd server... :)

thanks,
-Kurt.
