A question about "mod_perl Developer's Cookbook" by Young, Lindner and Kobes:
Is this book still relevant and worth buying for mod_perl2 ? (I'm about to dive into web development using Apache/mod_perl and intend to go straight to mp2).
Remember that mp2 is mp1++. Most of the things that worked in mp1 will work the same way in mp2. In addition mp2 introduces a whole lot of new things.
The majority of examples from the Eagle book and The Cookbook should work out of box with Apache::compat. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/compat/compat.html
Therefore you want to have these two books on your bookshelf. Believe me you won't need to dust them if you do modperl development.
Another reason to purchase the book is to support their authors and publishers. If the books don't pay off, don't expect their second editions that should cover modperl 2.0 to come out any time soon, if at all.
