Hi all, just wondering if Embperl was ever made threadsafe so it could
work under Apache's event or worker apache mpm's.
The prefork does seem to limit somewhat the number of clients I can have
on my server, presumably due to the memory footprint (no shared code
between processes?).
It's been a while since I played with that stuff, so I've probably
forgotten some things that I should have written down "way back when" I
was developing the core website config in the early 2000's. Like,
exactly how shared is the memory for my Perl code between Apache's
preforked processes? I don't currently explicitly preload (Execute) all
of my Embperl code at startup, even though I have a switch for that in
my startup.pl, and it's been so long now (> 10 years) that I don't
remember why I disabled it. I do seem to remember that if you execute
all your files in startup.pl then it's shared at first, but then over
time that becomes more fragmented (non-shared)? Sorry to be so vague,
basically the way mod_perl/Embperl works with respect to how code gets
shared (or not) between processes has always been a bit murky to me, so
any tips would be appreciated.
Also, of course, whether event/worker is a thing I should be looking at
for Embperl at all.
Thanks!
Neil
