Re: portability of mod_perl for other web servers/apps

Thanks Perrin. I will take a look at FastCGI. 

Its just that mod_perl provides all the http infrastructure so neatly, its
very tempting to consider emulating Apache and reuse mod_perl. But I see
your point.

 No, and it wouldn't really work.  A generic approach to running
 persistent code already exists in the form of FastCGI.  The rest of
 mod_perl is a perl interface to the Apache API, which makes it
 unsuitable for other web servers.
 
 Basically, I am looking for integrating some of mod_perl functionality in
 some high performance middleware, basically to provide a way to
 customized,
 scriptable request processing in the request processing engine.
 
 You could look at FastCGI, or embedding perl directly.

portability of mod_perl for other web servers/apps

[dbadhani]

Hi Gurus,

I recently started exploring mod_perl, and am really impressed with the
flexibility this can provide for Apache. 

This may sound far fetched, but has anyone tried porting mod_perl for web
servers other than Apache.  I understand this is developed as a module for
Apache, and integrates tightly with it, after all its an Apache module. But
looking at the flexibility it offers, I was wondering if anyone thought of
extending it for other servers. 

Basically, I am looking for integrating some of mod_perl functionality in
some high performance middleware, basically to provide a way to customized,
scriptable request processing in the request processing engine.

Thanks,
Deven
