Hi,
I'm new to all this and forgive me if my questions are basic
My question is how scaleable is Apache in terms of performance when i use
IPC from a mod_perl script? I basically want to have the Apache child
process handling the request to communicate with another process (using
mod_perl) and wait to get a response before continuing handling the request.
I know this isn't recommended but i have to talk to legacy code and retrieve
some data to send back to the client that made the request.
What is the best form of IPC to use and what are the implications on
Apaches performance? i.e is it ok to have the child handling the response
sit there waiting for its child to return something? Is this dangerous when
multiple requests are involved?
