Hey everyone,

It's me again... the persistent telnet mod_perl newbie!
(http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/apache0205/204.html)

I have implemented my project using persistent telnet connections (one for
each user session accessible throught the session to perform various
functions through telnet) on win2000:
Apache/1.3.26 (Win32) mod_perl/1.27_01-dev

Now for my next trick! 
When I started I didn't realize that mod_perl on win32 could only handle one
request at a time!!! This is obviously not acceptable for deployment.

So, I would like to upgrade to Apache2/mod_perl2 to take advantage of the
multi-process mod_perl model that the _very_ kind Randy Kobes told me about
(http://groups.google.ca/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=afv3gu%
24qt2%242%40canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca). However, with a multi-process model,
I'm not sure how I will be able to keep a user's telnet-session-object
accessible throughout multiple requests. Currently it's not a problem since
there's only one process for ALL mod_perl requests. In Apache2/mod_perl2
there will be more than one process so I need some sort of mapping to make
sure my clients are aways served by the same process. Is this possible? Am I
in way over my head (again!!) ?

Another problem is that I have also been informed that my _MUCH_ used
apache_notes function in php will not be available to me in Apache2
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17557). I realize this is an Apache2 thing,
but I was wondering if anyone here knows of a workaround that will allow my
php scripts to communicate with mod_perl (and vice-versa) until (hopefully)
the function is ported to Apache2.

Thanks in advance,
