I'm about 1/2way done with a webapp that has been taking me a while under mod_perl.
A friend just showed me somme of the outlines for a book on php5 he's finishing up -- many of the things that are on my to-do list would be way easier/faster to handle/template under php.
I'm all about using the right-tool-for the right job, and I'm debating now whether it would be worth doing some of that user-presentation stuff under php.
perl, and specifically mod_perl , is the right tool for all the admin tasks and apache API interaction. log/db analysis is done via python scripts.
some of the general user presentation would probably develop well under php -- but I dont want to consider that at the expense of the mod_perl processes.
The mod_perl cookbook discusses some of this lightly -- I've been unable to find any real-world examples online, or any talks of efficiency on a setup like that.
Anyone have an idea?
