PHP is just as compatible with apache 2 as mod_perl 2 is.  The threading
problems are in the libraries, which is where Perl's threading problems
are as well.

aha - hmm, if that's the case why aren't *we* worried about people 
upgrading to Apache2 like the PHP folks apparently are, as seen in the 
slashdot article ? IOW, whats the big difference in the mod_perl 
community making an upgrade suggestion versus PHP making a non-upgrade 
suggestion if "PHP is just as compatible with apache 2 as mod_perl 2 is" ?

[sorry for getting a bit off topic here, but i'm just getting a little 
bit worried that the PHP folks actually are right here]
They are right. But there is not much to worry about. Those problems 
aren't modperl ones, but mostly CPAN modules' ones. Once people will 
discover problems they will fix those. mod_perl2 is probably the first 
real product that will give a real test to CPAN modules under threads.

That's said I think there are a few problems to solve in modperl, but we 
will get there and fix those as soon as they are discovered, so again 
nothing to worry about.
