[Boston.pm] Re: problem with Redhat 8.0, Apache, mod_perl, libapreq

[creitzel at rcn.com (Charles Reitzel)]

On Win32, Perl 5.6.1 is compiled with Multiplicity enabled by default, 
which may explain why my test mod_perl programs work OK, even under 
simultaneous load w/ ab.

Again, my understanding was that, things were OK for most language 
features, but certain constructs could still cause problems 
(Regex?  Implicit operands?  Can't remember, sorry).

Found these links that indirectly confirm:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/mod_perl_C1/modperl_F7/win32_apache2.0.40_mod_perl-2_P40183/

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Prerequisites

My "take away" is that mod_perl2 is not quite ready for heavy-duty 
production use, but is fine for development and light-duty use.

take it easy,
Charlie

Not sure.  What's that crashing sound?
