Folks, I got my mp cb last night and it looks like a good read. Thanks to all of you who responded and recommended the book. -r

I'm setting up a server on OS X having just got a network connection and it's been invaluable. It's definitely the book to buy _before_ the Eagle book. Have fun, Regards, Phil.
Re: mod_perl Cook Book
HI, There is a section on performance tuning which is fantastic ... it gives practical examples of how you can monitor memory usage etc and tips on how to serve maximum hits per second. In the past month I've been wavering about mod_perl and have considered moving to Java servlets but this book has reminded me of the benefits of mod_perl and I'm sticking with it.

I have two copies, as the one at work keeps getting borrowed. I would say it's different to the Eagle book - it takes a different tack (which is kinda the point). I find both books useful - the Eagle book for explaining the Apache request cycle very clearly, and the Cookbook for explaining some of the nuances of mod_perl very clearly. Basically the Cookbook is much more about solving specific problems than the Eagle book, and as such is much more useful long term and short term, and I also found the explanations a bit clearer in the Cookbook. So I'd get both, but the Cookbook first if you're new to mod_perl, and then the Eagle book if you're still confused about some issues. I promised Geoff I would do a full review, and I'm doing an OS upgrade this weekend, so perhaps I'll get a chance to go over the bits of the book I've missed so far and post the review somewhere. --

I think the Eagle gives a really good foundation, and it's very enjoyable reading (regardless of what my wife says!). I still think the Eagle book is one of the best books on my bookshelf. I have a couple of Apache-specific books and I learned a lot more about Apache from the Eagle than those. The cook book has been a great addition. -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: mod_perl Cook Book
The cookbook is fabulous. In my opinion it's much clearer than the Eagle book. Of course it has the benefit of having been written when mod_perl had a few more years of maturity under it's belt. =) The Cookbook is wonderful and I would also like to publicly thank Geoffrey Young, one of the authors, for the generous amounts of help he has provided me via email. Buy it, you'll like it! -Fran Rasoul Hajikhani wrote: Hello folks, Has anyone purchased the mod_perl cook book from this list? If so, what do you think of it? Is it a good buy? Appreciate feed back.

Thanks in advance I enjoyed it -- I have it on my desk ready to crack open at a moment's notice. But then, I'm a bit biased since I'm mentioned in it :) It's been invaluable in writing some mod_perl handlers lately (Uttu.pm - 0.02 next week, hopefully, much improved). You'll want to either get the next print run or take a look at the errata on www.modperlcookbook.org if you run into problems. There don't seem to be a lot of large, glaring problems, just small things that can be easily overlooked. A few sample chapters are also available at that site. -- James Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED], 979-862-3725 Texas AM CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
