win32 mod_perl 1 and perl 5.8
G'day,
ATM we're working on a win32 platform with apache 1.3.27, Perl 5.6, and
mod_perl 1.27_01. I was reading the OS specific documentation at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/os/win32/multithread.html
and discovered that with this particular setup mod_perl is effectively single
threaded. The page above doesn't actually explain why but I'm assuming it's
because of threading issues with Perl 5.6?
Does anyone know if mod_perl for win32 will be updated to work with Perl 5.8
and whether this will fix the single threaded problem mentioned above?
Thanks,
Jason Nicholls

The single threading issue has more to do with
mod_perl-1/Apache-1, and is addressed in mod_perl-2/Apache-2 -
see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/index.html, which
also contains links to how to get Win32 binaries. mod_perl-2 can
be used with perl-5.6.1, but seems to function better under
perl-5.8, where some threading stuff is improved.
