hmmm, if i could get RH7.0 to *install* i could check that out.
anaconda (read: python) can't find it's POSIX libs, so the whole
thing's a bust from the get-go. (i'm a bit bitter about RH 7.)
prebuilt solves the problem nicely for people running linux;
however, that's not everybody. i'm sure there are sun shops out
there without the sysadmin expertise to download and compile
mod_perl properly. i'd rather see the configure/compile process
simplified than try to provide binaries for a dozen platforms --
that would allow the folks who'd be tied to compiling each new
release to do more interesting and profitable things.
i'm also sure that there are "technical managers" who can be
sold on Perl, since it's from a single source, but cannot be
convinced that running an enterprise system on software that's
been culled from three separate sources will prove robust. i
know it works, you know it works, but people who'd accept a job
title like "technical manager" might get nervous.
personally, i have no issues with how it works now; i'm just
trying to contribute what i've heard the problems are.
cheers,
k.
