Is mod_perl on win32 possible??
Hi again (and thanks to everyone who replied to my last post).
Is it at all possible to get mod_perl to work PROPERLY on win32?
Using multi-threading?
Since win32 can't fork, Apache here uses multi-threading. This actually
works very well... except for mod_perl which doesn't use multi-threading
itself.
This means that if one page takes a long time to deliver, all other
requests will have to wait in line! ...making mod_perl unusable.
Is it possible to create a multi-threaded mod_perl handler or won't this
help?
Or does there exist binaries of Apache for win32 that use forking?
Or do I have to set up a linus/bsd server... :)
thanks,
-Kurt.
