It's all a case of "use what works" =)
There's something peculiar with one of my Apaches in that it refuses to
use DSOs. And I've got mod_perl happily compiled into it.
On my home site, the admin of the machine has PHP installed but not
mod_perl.
At work, I haven't been able to convince the sysadmin to install either.
And if I do, he's more likely to go for PHP since it's less likely to
require many configuration changes. mod_perl can attach modules to any
part of a request/response phase and thus can be configured somewhat
complexly.
PHP is just a content handler, right?
mod_perl is an everything handler: content, headers, logging, URI
translation, etc. etc. It's more powerful. As far as I know, there's
nothing PHP can do that mod_perl can't.
Well, apart from compile on AIX with gcc =)
cheers,
