What about it? Is it not working?
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel (0.26 or less for Win2k/ISS5.0PerlEx current is
.40 most likely not thread safe)
GD.pm (ActiveState only has GD1.x for 5.6.1 and compile errors for GD2.x
on 5.8.0)
XML::Simple (Active State5.6.1 is only at 1.06 missing some critical
features from the current ~2.05)
DateTime modules (datetime.perl.org ActiveState 5.6.1 has nothing... I
think 5.8.0 might have some)
Building your own .ppm files seems like the only way to solve these.
use lib qw(...) (ISS automagically adds . to this. Under unix,
this is not the case
First thought, use FindBin, but its not thread safe, so mod_perl2.x
fails.
Only anwser I've come up with is to have an installation script
edit a place holder in the main file
You could use a config file or an environment variable, but what is the
problem with FindBin exactly? I haven't heard about it not being thread
safe before.
However, caching is much more beneficially in IIS5.0/PerlEx then
apache1.x/mod_perl1.x (rarely if ever get server by the same child in
Apache)
In apache 1.x on Win32, you always get the same child since there is
only one. With 1.x on FreeBSD, the allocation will basically
round-robin through all of your live apache children.
