At least to mysql. The biggest problem with mod_perl is that people tent to compare it with mod_php. They could compare it with mod_rewrite, mod_log_common, or mod_proxy with similar results (differences). mod_perl can do (nearly) anything what any modules can do. It will be just done by perl interpreter, instead of interpreting binary code compiled from C (as most apache modules are) by CPU itself. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
