Hi, The Apache 2 Connection handler opens up the possibility of using it for all kinds of protocol servers. However, I have a wild question: Is it possible to use Apache mod_perl for a schedule server? I.e., a server that is self existent. For example, I can use Apache 2 for Telnet, FTP, SMTP, or even Telephony Server. But I will need a thread that processes the backend stuff, such as maintaining the database and message queue (more like a cron). Is this configuration possible?
