On certain platforms people had problems with DSO, most of these problems should have been polished out by now. For more details see: http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-docs/dst_html/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used The main reason for using DSO is to be able to build new C modules outside of Apache sources and plug them in on demand. Though you pay a little price for runtime resolution vs. staticaly linked httpd. You will find most of the info that you may need here: http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-docs/dst_html/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Pros_and_Cons_of_Building_mod_perl_as_DSO and it the rest of this doc. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
