Getting started with mod_perl
Hi,
I am just getting started with mod_perl. Can someone tell me what
versions of Apache and mod_perl I should run together?
I am setting up a 1U server and a laptop. I have been debating RH9 or
Fedora. Any opinions there?
Thanks for your input.
-Ian

Randal was talking about OSCON.

I usually also give this tutorial when I travel and happen to be around some
perl mongers groups. But I need to write a new one since many things have
changed over the period of the last year.

Hopefully by the conference time the API will be frozen and may be even 2.0
released. It depends on how much help we can get on various fronts of
polishing things and completing the missing things.

My mod_perl 2 tutorial is on Monday July 26, 1:45pm to 5:15pm. Feel free to
stop by and learn so you can do more than just mention it.

This link has been invaluable to me in moving from mp1 to mp2, it's
probably the best place to start:

Ahh, the talks I couldn't attend because I was busy manning my exhibit
hall booth, trying desparately to pay my bills for the year. :)
So, I'll have to change my spin a bit... can someone give me the
latest pointers to "here's mp2 for you mp1 experts" notes or slides?

I think as long as you specify up front that it's mostly about mp1
I don't think anyone would boo you. :) However, you might not get as
big of a turn out from those of us who have switched or are in the
process of switching to 2.0.
Considering most (if not all) of the talks last year at OSCON were
about 2.0 or switching to 2.0, a mostly 1.0 talk might be welcomed
by people who are new to mod_perl or not looking to switch in the
near future.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.
In particular, I've been drafted to give a "mod perl" talk on the
Apache track at OSCON. My notes are all mod-perl1. Will I be boo'ed
off the stage if I mention mod_perl2 only in passing?

BTW, Apache 2.0.49 is the latest version, not 2.0.48.
While mod_perl2 is almost there it is still in beta and some of the API is
still changing. So if you want to stick with a stable API use mod_perl1 for now.

Re: Getting started with mod_perl

Hi,
ModPerl2 and Apache2 are the latest and greatest (You can't run
Apache1 with ModPerl2 or Apache2 with ModPerl1). Note also
mod_perl_1.99 is (going to be) mod_perl2.
Here's what I do:
wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz
and
wget http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/httpd/httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz
and while you're at it, grab the Apache::Request stuff:
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JO/JOESUF/libapreq2-2.02_02-
dev.tar.gz
ken.
