Re: modperl on Win32 is still happening

It goes down well with cookies, too, but tastes awful with Java. ;) And, you know, to keep this on topic, I like the idea that mod_perl on Windows can be a springboard of sorts for people who may eventually be driven to use mod_perl on other platforms. Supporting Windows with technologies like mod_perl seems like a kind of viral evangelism, and as long as mod_perl continues to work well on Windows, Windows-centric people will continue to be interested in mod_perl.

Re: modperl on Win32 is still happening
With thread support in mod_perl 2, it's much more of an option on Win32 than with mod_perl 1, so you might even see more interest from the Windows side.

Good news for Microsoft, but I personally believe it's a gentle step for people to learn modperl, then move into the Linux/ BSD platform. -- Jim Brandt Administrative Computing Services University at Buffalo

I am on my way to studying mod_perl on Windows are you saying I should go for other choices? What is a good one for windows?
Re: modperl on Win32 is still happening
Firstly: mod_perl is a good choice. :) There are other languages out there which can probably do the same job 90% of the time. But what you have chosen is a language that is: 1. OS independent 2. Highly extensible via CPAN 3. Fast to cook, good to eat It's not a question of whether you can do job X with language Y, but it's more of how easily it is done, and how flexible it can be. mod_perl tends to do pretty well in that path.
