Most of my mod_perl/AIX systems are used to generate organizational performance reports, basically data-mart type stuff, which is very DBI (DB2) and computationally-intensive, and also often invlove running COBOL binaries which have been ported from OS/390 and run via RPC::XML. If the need to run COBOL is absent from a project, then I usually deploy on Lintel, since procurement is so much easier. I never rely on OS ditributions of perl, apache, or mod_perl so my working enviroment is always identical. As I mentioned earlier, Rafael should not be experience slowness on AIX unless he's comparing dated RS/6000 hardware with new Intel. Scalability, especially with big SMP iron, still favors the RS/6000 though at a colossal cost. Bill
