I've stumbled upon mod_raah while reading http://simplex.ru/news/koi/ (sorry it's in koi charset :). It was referencing to http://www.opencentrix.com/opensource/mod_raah/ This is what is has to say: Mod_Raah exposes a subset of the Apache API via Corba. It allows a programmer to write Apache handlers that run on a remote machine. The three phases Authentication, Authorization and Content are supported. and there is a nice diagram depicting the functionality... So in case you are looking for an opportunity to write a new Apache:: module, it seems that Apache::RAAH is still an open vacancy :) _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://apachetoday.com http://logilune.com/ http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
