Apache 1.3x and mod_perl 1.2x

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In (about) RH8, the default Apache installation was switched to Apache
2.x. This seems to be a reasonable decision as Apache 2.x is generally
very stable. Unfortunately it also meant that the version of mod_perl
included had to be changed to 1.9x and that version of mod_perl isn't
quite ready for serious use yet.

It's fine for most uses. If you just want to make your CGI programs run
faster by running them under Apache::Registry (now renamed
ModPerl::Registry) then there are no problems with it. But if you want
to write (or use) more complex mod_perl handlers like, for example,
Apache::MVC then you're a bit stuck as many of them don't work under
that version of mod_perl yet.

So it seems that for serious Apache/mod_perl development work, you
should still be using the Apache 1.3x and mod_perl 1.2x branches. But I
can't find recent RPMs of these versions. The mod_perl that shipped with
RH7.3 will have been build against Perl 5.6.x and therefore won't work
with the Perl 5.8.1 that is in Fedora.

Has anyone else run up against these problems or (even better) solved
them? Is there a modern RPM of the older Apache/mod_perl stuff around
anywhere? Would there be any interest in creating one?
