The term discontinued doesn't quite apply to Open Source software. A few years from now when the majority will move to mod_perl 2.0, mod_perl 1.0 might be not worked on actively, but being an open source the project it will be maintained as long as someone will volunteer to do that. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

Re: mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0
I think it should be based on your specific requirements. If you want to setup a production box and does not have much time in hand to troubleshoot, then you must go for mod_perl 1.x/Apache-1.x latest stable versions. However, if you have time in hand want to learn a bit about Apache/mod_perl, then 2.x would be better. For any slightly large project, you're likely to face problems it's fun to debug as you'd get to know the code better. I'd also think mod_perl 1.x series may be discontinued after a while, as 2.x gets to be used widely (however, it may be a while). I have been trying to move a large application from mod_perl 1.x to 2.x. There had been many hiccups now then and I had to install latest of version of all components in my tech stack (perl 5.8.0, latest CGI/DBI/DBD ...etc.) and had to tweak my configurations. I found few issues in the process and I've reported them here. From my experience, it's a bit long journey, but quite interesting.
