I am new to Mod_Perl. I don't know what all it's good for. My
question is, what do they mean by "mod_perl experience". I can
compile Apache with mod_perl and make emb_perl work correctly
but I highly doubt that is all they are after. Being new to this, I'd like
some perspective from those more experienced. I am trying to
enter this field as a EmbPerl<->DBI programmer. Thus far, I
haven't gotten into HTML too much as far as creating my own goes.
I have a large learning curve to climb here because Perl is new to
me. How far into mod_perl should I go? I.e. what does it look like if
you have "experience with mod_perl"? What all can you do with it?
Please forgive and be kind if this sound very naieve. I am looking
for perspective and education, not flames for stupidity! :-)
