What mod_dtcl does, explained briefly is create a tcl interpreter per Apache child process. Each page is run in its own namespace. This means that if you want, you can create global variables (although note that they are *not* shared amongst apache processes!) by doing something like set ::db [create db connection]. More information is available here under the 'other' heading, which gives a very brief description of the internals. http://tcl.apache.org/mod_dtcl/documentation/ To answer your question, this keeps the overhead very low. Mod_dtcl is fast:-) > 2. how do you compare your package with neowebscript (which one > would you recomend to use when not needing safe interpeter and all > the extra packages neowebscript supplies). Well, since I wrote mod_dtcl, I'm biased! I think it's faster, and for what I need, I prefer the execution model. I also aim to make mod_dtcl work with standard Tcl extensions 'out of the box' if at all possible. This means that you should be able to run mod_dtcl with whatever extensions you want, including the ones included in neowebscript. In fact, for the 'next generation' of Apache Tcl, we will be working on a project to combine the best of NWS and mod_dtcl, which will be called 'Rivet', and start from the mod_dtcl code base. > 3. what is the goal of the integration project between the two model > and when do you expect it to be finiched? Between NWS and mod_dtcl, or mod_tcl? When someone pays me to work on it;-) Seriously, we don't have any dates. Both myself and Damon Courtney have work commitments that don't let us do this stuff full time. > I appreciate your reply as these issues are not expalined clearly as > fas as I saw in different documentation of the issue. What pages in the documentation could be improved or created? I don't have a 'comparison' page, because I didn't want to offend anyone. Although mod_tcl could be differentiated from the others because it is different... -- David N.
