I'm brand new to the list, so I thought I'd better ask a question before
making another post:
What is the specific purpose/slant of this list? Is it a developer's
list? A general list to help those running Mod Perl? Are only
programming geniuses allowed to post, or can the average joe ask dumb
questions?
I've never run Mod Perl in a real life setting but like the concept. I
own several domains on commercial servers that I plan to eventually move
to my own server, so am trying to get acquainted the the best way to set
it up and administer it.
If this isn't a list for those just learning Mod Perl, please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,
Glen
