We currently have Apache running for mod_perl and Tomcat running for a purchased servlet library. I primarily user mod_perl as a speedup for cgi programs. I need ssl capabilities and have had problems trying to get it working. Tomcat has an option for ssl from sun that may not have the issues on our platform. Why would you need mod_perl with Tomcat? You can use Tomcat with Apache using mod_jk, and get the best of both worlds. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ What's the matter with the world?

RE: mod_perl version for Tomcat
Hmmm, from what I've read of Tomcat it is recommended to use it in conjuction with apache and just proxy specific requests to Tomcat. Why would you need mod_perl with Tomcat?
