=head1 NAME
How to pronounce mod_perl
=head1 Description
Do you think that "mod_perl" is a strange name and wondering about how
to pronounce it?
=head1 "mod_perl"
Over the years there have been many people complaining about
"mod_perl" being an unsuitable name for this product and it's hard to
"sell it" to their bosses. However, the name has a long tradition and
is here to stay.
The "mod_" part comes from the prefix all Apache modules have:
mod_rewrite, mod_dir, etc. If you look at the DSO filenames you'll see
that they are all like "mod_I<xxx>.so". This is also the case for
mod_perl.
As for the "perl" part, the origin is pretty obvious.
The name is straight to the point and clearly describes what the
application does. Those who have requested a change of name have never
obtained it, often for the simple reason that "If you can't sell
mod_perl to your boss based on its technical merits, the name is the
least of your worries".
=head1 Pronunciation
One issue still remains: how are we supposed to pronounce this name?
In phonetic (AHD, see
http://www.dictionary.com/help/ahd4/pronkey.html), mod_perl looks like:
=for html <b>môd·pûrl</b>
The underscore marks a slight pause between the "mod" and "perl"
parts.
Below we have collected recordings of mod_perl developers around the
globe pronouncing mod_perl.
