RE: open(FH,'|qmail-inject') fails
If you are using qmail-inject in a high volume configuration, make sure you reduce or eliminate most of its logging, otherwise the system will spin its wheels doing logging work and not sending out emails. Haven't compared Net::SMTP to qmail-inject, but qmail-inject is significantly faster than straight sendmail on Linux.

Why should one > care about the details of internal implementation. i only skimmed the first part of this thread, but assumed if you're talking about performance, you'd want to compare the overall impact on your system(s) of Net::SMTP vs. |qmail-inject. you cannot measure the overall impact just using Benchmark.pm is all i'm trying to clarify.
Building mod_perl and mod_jserv into same apache
We need to have mod_perl and mod_jserv in the same httpd file. I can build apache 1.3.9 for either mod_perl or mod_jserv using the appropriate make commands from the install docs and they work fine. I've tried to build a mod_perl httpd and then use ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --activate-module=src/modules/jserv/libjserv.a on a apache build but then I get a mod_jserv httpd and mod_perl is gone. If I try to activate-module for both mod_perl and mod_jserv I get a lot of mod_perl errors. Suggestions would be appreciated. Jeff
RE: oracle : The lowdown
Title: RE: oracle : The lowdown Personally, I hate conversions. I've managed and used Oracle databases over 4TB with billions of records. The way I figure it, once I'm up and running on Oracle, I won't worry about the database again. I'm sure there are a number of other valid considerations but for my money, I'll stick with Oracle.

Re: oracle : The lowdown
Title: Re: oracle : The lowdown We were a mySQL shop. We replaced mySQL with Oracle8i/mod_perl and and Apache::DBI. Works great, once it is all setup. Our overall processing is faster with Oracle too. The lack of transactions and views put an immediate end of mySQL once we got into the details of my project. Oracle is overkill for smaller task but you don't have to worry about outgrowing it.
