Paul,

You certainly are correct about the book being a bit dated.  But it is still a
great reference, especially for beginners.  Even with the book you still must
read the perldocs.

Yeah, it still mostly is. Apache 2.0 and the accompanying mod_perl 2.0
will be a whole new ball of wax though, but they're not here yet anyway
(hey Doug, going to make a second edition for 2.0 I hope?). It's a great
book.

I found the O'Reilly mod_perl quick reference booklet quite useful at
time. Easy to carry around, packed with all the information (no fluff or
explanation, like the man pages), useful.

Diving into mod_perl with this new job of mine was certinaly made much easier 
with 'Apache modules with perl / C' ... I'd pick it up for reference at the 
very least.

book recommendations?

2001-03-20 Thread Paul Evad

I know a lot of the good O'Rielly books are showing some age (1999 
publishing date). Anyone out there have a copy of "Writing Apache 
Modules with Perl and C", is it still relevant enough with the 
current apache mod_perl distro's to be worthwhile getting?

Suggestions on  good reference books to get? (I have most of the Perl 
library already).
