Apache, Mod_PERL, and PERL

2003-06-01 Thread Ryan Farrington
It was my assumption that apache allowed for the perl executable to be
loaded into memory and called from then on without having to worry about
creating the external process (ISAPI I think is what the reference
said). When I touch a .pl from the web the perl executable runs =( Am I
doing something wrong?

Well that sort of sounds right, but instead of making assumptions, why
not read the Guide?  You'll find it at

http://perl.apache.org

There's quite a lot to read (but around here we don't consider that to
be an excuse for not reading it. :)

 (ISAPI I think is what the reference said).

I have no idea what you're talking about.  Can you at least read
enough to be able to tell us what it is you've got there and what
you've read that you don't understand?  It will help us to help you if
you tell us things like which operating system, versions of Apache and
mod_perl, how you've configured them, what Perl modules you're trying
to use, what your scripts are supposed to do...

 When I touch a .pl from the web the perl executable runs =(

What else would you want it to do?
