by extending standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags [8]

from shared, reusable building blocks called components, which
contain a mix of Perl and HTML and can call each other and pass
values back and forth like subroutines [9]
mailing list highlights
o Although everyone ought to know by now that Apache 1.3.14 requires
Apache::Session [10]
Template Toolkit [11]
Hello World 2000 [12]

prohibits PerlModule and PerlRequire from being activated
by <Perl> sections [13]

Aaron Johnson [17]
Tim Bunce [18]

o For anyone who was wondering how Apache::DBI handles transactions
(or wondering what a transaction is, for that matter) there is
a nice description here [20]
advocacy
o Still overflowing from the past week, there are a number of active
threads on mod_perl advocacy. The most focused of these was
dedicated to mod_perl tutorials [21].
FAQ of the week
Yikes, 1.3.14 is two months old and we saw this twice this week...
o I'm trying to make mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14, but see the error:
"Apache Version 1.3.0 required, aborting..."
Using mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14 requires an upgrade to 1.24-01
(or some hacking around). Get the latest version from the mod_perl
distribution page [22]
links
o The Apache/Perl Integration Project [23]
o mod_perl documentation [24]
o mod_perl modules on CPAN [25]
o mod_perl homepage [26]
o mod_perl news and advocacy [27]
o mod_perl list archives [28]
happy mod_perling...
