I just have a vague recollection of my first mod_perl 2 handler (Written only 2 weeks ago, though I dabbled with the C API 9 months ago, already) and reading it and playing with httpd.conf and overall being very confused. I've just committed the examples, hopefully they will appear online soon. I'd consider having 2 guides written - a porting guide - yours is nice, but more as reference than as tutorial - and the second for newbies (Starting with mor_perl 2)... I'm toying with the idea of starting the porting tutorial, but I want to make sure it's written well for clueless people (which I probably still at least half count as :-)) and with accurate content. porting or starting? We already have a porting guide: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/porting.html a porting reference: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html Right - I read it, and it's reference. It's not a good guide. A guide should start with the basics. The mp_1 guide is one of the most beautiful pieces of electronic documentation in existance! It should be a book (I know: practical mod_perl) Seriously though - the guide is what personally turned me on to mod_perl, but the above two documents make me shiver and stay the hell away from mp_2. What's needed is a good friendly piece of documentation to get people moving... to mp_2 and even getting started: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html Will look at it shortly - Let's not bite off more than we can chew in one mouthful. I'd suggest to improve these docs where approapriate and start a new doc only if it really doesn't fit into the existing docs. I'm just not sure if it *does* fit... Issac

What's needed is a good friendly piece of documentation to get people moving... to mp_2 Certainly. Just remember that the guide is 4 years old. The 2.0 docs are a few months old. So all we need is to make it better. and even getting started: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html Will look at it shortly - Let's not bite off more than we can chew in one mouthful.

Let's see what you come up with and we can decides whether it fits or not. The idea is to avoid forks and have people collaborate on the single best source of documentation, rather than private projects. Private projects could be good, but given the complexity of mod_perl, having a good single source of documentation is a great boon for its acceptance. __ 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
