BTW: No, there are no commercial pressures involved in this project, but just doing a possible/likely career transition from the embedded-telecom implosion to something more of the "future". However, time (as always) is always of the essence, and I'll need to balance my choices available. It's funny. I thought that Java would be a predominant player in the web world, but it looks like perl et al are the predominant players. That's ok as I'm was never a huge fan of Java anyhow ;p. Enough of my rant. Thanks again. Stas, if you have the email of Joe and Randy, please email me; I'll see if I am of any use to them. Robert _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Depends what you want to do... :) If you are interested in learning about it and you don't have a project that you have to put on a live Webserver in a couple of months' time, I'd say stay with mp2 and watch it evolve. Maybe get involved in some of the development. I wouldn't consider mp2 for production use yet because of that evolution process if for no other reason, but if you don't have the commercial pressures then it doesn't matter so much and there's no point your spending a lot of time learning about something if it's going to be more-or-less history by the time you need to use it seriously. > I realize that for Q2, I may want to simply go with the more "stable" > versions of the Apache server and mod_perl as I am just learning For your education it's probably worth your while learning how to get the latest CVS versions, at least of mod_perl. The latest versions of Apache2 and mod_perl2 will be quite stable enough for you to use to learn about them. Now your browsers on the other hand... 73, Ged.
Advice sought for learning mod_perl (2 or 1)
Hi everyone, I am new to Apache/mod_perl and everything else. I bought a fairly good book on Apache/mysql/mod_perl. Unfortunately, it is based on the Apache 1 server and mod_perl1. In doing so, it is using the Apache::Request module which has not been ported to mod_perl2 yet. Several questions come to mind: Q1: Is there a similar module to Apache::Request? Similar to syntax that is. Q2: Any real benefits to working on the latest and greatest? Or should I go to the older versions? Yes, I realize that for Q2, I may want to simply go with the more "stable" versions of the Apache server and mod_perl as I am just learning, but I would like to hear some opinions. Thanks.
