Modperl with threads
Mod_perl doesn’t support threads, am I right?
This may limit its capabilities from my view.
Any alternative stack?
Thanks

AFAIK, as long as each thread instantiates it's own handle, it should work. I don't believe you can share the same DBI handle between multiple threads.

I think the bigger problem is that not all of the Perl modules are thread
safe.
Has DBI itself become thread safe or is it still a great area ?

If you mean mod_perl with ithreads and using the Apache mpm_event module, then that's incorrect, I think. Search the archives of this mailing list for posts by Joe Schaefer <jo...@sunstarsys.com> for some clues as to how. I haven't done it myself, but Joe says it is possible (and the performance is much, much better than mpm_prefork), but my understanding is that it's not exactly trivial to set up and may involve compiling Perl with custom options, iirc.
