Martin, You better have one of those "powers that be" give those crazy folks at amazon.com a call and let them know that they are using an insecure product for their little shopping site. Seriously though, amazon.com uses Mason (http://www.masonhq.com/?AmazonDotCom) which uses mod_perl which uses perl. They probably do more money based transactions per day than any other web site (except perhaps ebay - not sure what they use), and they trust mod_perl. Sorry, I know that's probably not a good "reason", but it is a good example. --John -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
