I tried to avoid making it an advertisement. Unfortunately, it is a lot easier to say, "yes, the implementation is possible" when you already have an implementation. For that matter, I believe there are other companies that offer HTML::Mason hosting in a secure fashion. There is a page on the wiki listing hosts, but for the reasons described in the book -- not everyone in that list provides a secure environment -- but some do. > Running the usual shared system of virtual hosts does > in fact potentially lead to the problems outlined. In retrospect, my prior email was a bit too hasty. It seems the book was published in October of 2002, and GrokThis.net was founded in December 2002. Thus, for that reason, I can forgive the book's verbage as I believe were were the first to offer such an implementation. I'm not suggesting they publish another edition just on my account, but if and when they do release another edition, I wouldn't mind seeing some changes ;-) I've seen that page of the book before, but I must have either never seen that line, or it never bothered me as much as it did now. Clearly, at the time of the printing, it was a legitimate argument, but three and a half years later, it seems throughly obsolete. > Not to pick nits but is this really "shared hosting"?

What you're thinking of is VPS / VDS, and they're usually more expensive to deploy than my described configuration. Any VPS account offering control over things like the Apache modules (such as mod_perl) at the $15/mo price range is almost certainly going to be unmanaged (or the provider has a questionable business model). The solution I described allows a host to provide shared, managed services with the bonus of having a private Apache installation at a reasonable monthly rate. -- Eric Windisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GrokThis.net _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
