I've seen a lot of comments which seem to me to say that a static mod_perl is the "only way to go".
But Redhat ships it as a DSO. Now, on the one hand, I wouldn't just automatically assume that Redhat knew what they were doing. On the other hand, I've asked a couple local mod_perl junkies I know how static was better, and they didn't have any good answers for the Intel / Linux environment (though they definitely knew reasons for the Windows environment). (And I know a static setup would use somewhat less memory; but the last memory I bought for this server cost me $16.04 per 128MB, and it's connected to the net over only a 768k DSL line, so I'm not running *hundreds* of server processes; more like *tens*.) What I've found on the web so far makes claims strong enough that I feel my experience contradicts them adequately, and makes few actual *explanations*. So, specifically for the Linux environment, what are the downsides of running mod_perl as a DSO? (Pointers to the FM so I can R it would be fine.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED] / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
