do I really need "mod_perl"
Hi,
Sorry for asking a stupid question, but I was wondering do I really need
to install "mod_perl" to get my website to work with CGI.
It seems that after my unsuccessful attempt at installing "mod_perl", I
can use the Perl interpreter just fine and I can use the CGI-bin just fine
also.
I have placed my observations and records in the following URL:
http://home.netvigator.com/~yungp/my_perl.html
If you look at the observations and records under the date "Dec 30, 2000",
you will see the modules that are currently installed and that my CGI
works just fine without "mod_perl"
If anyone can shed the light on this mystery to me, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

Embperl can also run as standart CGI or offline, but under mod_perl it's
much faster

Obviously, you know after reading the above link you don't need mod_perl to
run standard perl-written cgi's. One of the additional benefits not mentioned
in that article is Embperl. Embperl is a nifty little tool that let's you
embed server side interpreted perl in a normal .html document. Very handy
indeed! In order for Embperl to work, however, mod_perl must be installed.
Enjoy. :)
