Well, as most of us know mod_perl doesn't really lend itself well to the "hosted" world because of the way it operates. However there is I think a conceivable solution. This might sound a little crazy (or a lot), but I've been messing around with vmware, and it's really cool/stable. One

Hmmm...what about a variant of the proxied mod_perl? Picture a lite bulk front-end apache doing the usual stuff then proxying the mod_perl stuff back to a serverly (chargeably?) process-limited apache with a different httpd.conf per site? Nah, not good, you still have to budget a fair

This is not the right way to do it - this would link in dead duplicates of the code into the embperl shared object, possibly creating duplicate global variables only visible in the embperl object that are not the same as the ones used in the Apache main httpd executable. You must use proper

Re: perl vs java

On Tue, 13 Jun 2000, you wrote: Now, now...that is unfair. I was referring to writing in pure Perl vs pure Java. Admittedly it's not completely fair :-). I admitted that I would do (have done) it in c. Given a choice between C and perl that is. But as you say in the next paragraph, Perl is
