IIUC, you are on the same track ;)
FYI - it would be more useful if you would post to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Mladen, where ActiveState folk are already engaged in the discussion :)
Not asking you to subscribe of course (I believe your posts are
easily moderated in, that it's not a subscriber only list.)
FYI - to answer the obvious question raised by my response...
...for 95% of the modules it *just doesn't matter*. A module that
uses only apr or only system I/O or memory allocation will probably
never trip up. We can build mod_jk, for example, to VC 2008 and use
it on our VC6 httpd. Or we can build mod_jk with VC6 and it will
still work fine on VC 2008.
Only when you put your fingers in the works do they get chopped off.
And that's precisely what mod_perl, or rather a host of various perl
modules (loadable xs files) tend to do.
So I didn't mean to slight folks following [EMAIL PROTECTED], but for almost
everyone the discussion would mean nothing, but to the mod_perl guys
it's all much more fragile and needs coordination ;-)
