Re: handlers versus scripts, SSI difference

[Geoffrey Young]

But it seems to be that with modperl as DSO this directive does not work, 
and that Apache::include is only a modperl1.x funcionality, so discarted in 
mod perl 2.
I've started this port, but it's a long way from being completed - it 
doesn't work right and dumps core, but I haven't looked at it in quite a 
while.  oh, and it's really ugly too.  in other words, very much a work in 
progress.

here it is if you want to help - I'll probably get back to it in a few weeks.

I don't think this has anything to do with DSO vs. static. 
Apache::Include and Apache::SSI are the two ways of doing includes of
mod_perl scripts in mod_perl 1.x and they have not been ported to
mod_perl 2 yet.

If you are using apache 2, you should look at using the apache 2 version
of mod_include, which can be used as a filter.  Take a look at the
documentation here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_include.html

 So this is my question. Are perlhandlers better than CGI registry scripts in
 speed but not in funcionality???

Perl handlers have better speed and functionality than CGI scripts
running under Registry, but that has nothing to do with SSI.
