Like Sreeji said, its really about your requirements - but the above

Hi all,
I’m currently working on a personal project to get myself back in
mod_perl programming order. However I’m more used to using
mod_perl 1.0 with Apache 1.3.x. I’m going through the
documentation for mod_perl 2.0 but I’m worried that most of the
modules I need won’t work with mod_perl 2.0. I’ve been looking for
what modules will and will not work with 2.0 (like Apache::DBI for
pooling connections with MySQL). Would it be a better benefit to
me to switch over to 2.0?
Thanks,
Jamie
We need more help in porting more mods to go with mp2... too ;) Come
join the fray :)

The term "discontinued" doesn't quite apply to Open Source software. A few years from now when the majority will move to mod_perl 2.0, mod_perl 1.0 might be not worked on actively, but being an open source the project it will be maintained as long as someone will volunteer to do that. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH --> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

Re: mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0
I think it should be based on your specific requirements. If you want to setup a production box and does not have much time in hand to troubleshoot, then you must go for mod_perl 1.x/Apache-1.x latest stable versions. However, if you have time in hand & want to learn a bit about Apache/mod_perl, then 2.x would be better. For any slightly large project, you're likely to face problems & it's fun to debug as you'd get to know the code better. I'd also think mod_perl 1.x series may be discontinued after a while, as 2.x gets to be used widely (however, it may be a while). I have been trying to move a large application from mod_perl 1.x to 2.x. There had been many hiccups now & then and I had to install latest of version of all components in my tech stack (perl 5.8.0, latest CGI/DBI/DBD ...etc.) and had to tweak my configurations. I found few issues in the process and I've reported them here. From my experience, it's a bit long journey, but quite interesting.
