[SOT] mod_perl on IBM s390

["Sean D. Cook" <sd...@edutest.com>]

I know that rescently IBM has been successfull in running thousands of
instances of linux on the H30-H70 series machines.  I am wondering if
anyone is using one of these beasts to run mod_perl in a production
environment and what kind of millage you are getting.  

Thanks in advance for you input.

I'm aware of someone who's trying to get mod_perl and WING (my web
mail thing) going on Linux/390 but is having problems with httpd
segfaulting. I've let him know that mod_perl is very sensitive to
version skew between Apache, mod_perl and perl and am waiting to see
if compiling from scratch fixes things. We may be getting a S/390 for
testing here within the next few months in which case I'll be doing
a lot of Apache/mod_perl testing and feeding the results back.
