mod_perl for web hosting

[sagi <sa...@powweb.com>]

I would like to use a certain module (Apache::Traffic) to log traffic on
a per UID, but since we are a web hosting, we do not want our clients to
be able to use mod_perl. Is there a nice solution that will allow me to
use this module, but will disallow ALL clients from using any features
of mod_perl?

In mod_perl 2.0 you can disable all phases but the logging phase. That means 
that that in theory your users will be able to run other log handlers, but 
that's only if you allow them to change the configuration of the server to 
configure those other handlers. If they can't do it, then only the handlers 
that you have configured will be run-able. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_Enable_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_Perl_Handler_

If you control the server configuration and don't let users add their own 
configuration, you can do that in mod_perl 1.0 as well.
