I am totally new to the LAMP world and I am trying to find my way. I am a web solutions architect using Microsoft .NET, hence, I know how web servers work, etc. etc.
I am just confused between mod_perl and Perl. My target is to be able to write enterprise web-based solutions using LAMP or Perl. TO be quite honest, I prefer writing in Perl (I am still a Perl newbie).
LAMP just means using Perl along with Linux and Apache and an open source database. mod_perl is just a module for apache that embeds the perl interpreter inside the web server process. It's the equivalent of an ISAPI module. ASP is similar to mod_perl, except that ASP is a generic module supporting many languages while mod_perl is specifically for Perl.
