mod_perl setup for w2k?
The courseware project on which I labor has been running on several
webserver/platforms, notably CGI on NT IIS and mod_perl on Apache on
Solaris. My boss has decided he'd like to see it on mod_perl on Apache
on Windows 2000. I've found the docs for "Using Apache With Microsoft
Windows," and especially enjoy the part
http://apache.org/docs/windows.html

:-) I've also found Randy Kobes' mod_perl binaries at
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/
and am planning to try perl-win32-bin-0.6.exe. If anyone has already
gotten mod_perl running on w2k, I'd appreciate your recommendations
(or pointers to documentation) regarding
* which Kobes binary you use, or
* which Apache, Perl, etc you use
* tips, tricks, traps, etc
TIA, Tom_Roche@ncsu.edu

Considering the work going on with Apache-2.0 on Windows -
see http://www.apache.org/docs/new_features_2_0.html -
this seems hard to believe in the intermediate future. Also, see
http://www.mail-archive.com/opensa-devel@opensa.org/msg00043.html
for insight on some of the challenges facing Apache's
development on Windows.
best regards,

This is *excellent* news. It's always possible that I misunderstood, though
doubtful since discerning the future of Apache [especially mod_perl] on Win32
was a good portion of the reason I attended the conference and Ken *did* seem
adamant on the subject, but that said, if I did misunderstand, I sincerely
apologize for spreading disinformation.

I'd strongly disagree that this is not true.
Covalent intends to make a significant commitment to making sure that Apache
2.0 on Win32 is on par with the Unix platform's stability and performance.

Well, when tugged the sleeve of a certain Unusually-Sized Rodent at
ApacheCon about the future of Apache on Windows I was told that Apache
will *not* support NT5 uh, I mean, Windows2000. Ken, is this still true?
