For me, one of things I am grappling with is how to create some of scheduling daemon within the mod_perl environment. I mean, I like mod_perl (and Apache2), but there are times when I need to run a script that takes a really long time to process. In Apache it will time out.
I hear that in the servlet environment, you can create a java daemon of sorts, that the web application can poll continuously to see if the job is completed, otherwise return a page that will reload itself 5 minutes later. I like that kind of mixture, and I wonder if the same can be done in the mod_perl enviromment.
People do that, but I've never understood why. It seems to me that there is a much better solution but I've never heard of it being used so possibly there's something wrong that no one's been able to explain to me.
There are many ways people do this in perl/mod_perl too... check the mod_perl list archives it's come up enough times in the last three years that I can still remember it.
