If you want the speed of mod_event for static content and the power of mod_perl for dynamic content - the best way is to run a lightweight mod_event apache in front of a mod_prefork to run the mod_perl....
tbh this is exactly the set up most people use for other heavy backends (mod_fastcgi etc) but you still benefit from the power of mod_perl for your perl I do this anyway as the mod_event bounces really quickly in comparison to the heavier mod_worker client (especially if you pre-cache a lot of your perl) so can handle "maintenance" events much better... Also all the stuff like SSL etc is handled on the mod_event instance keeping the mod_worker instance clean.. It also allows you to run two apaches on a single box - a "test" and a "live" -----Original Message----- From: pengyh <pen...@mail.de> Sent: 05 August 2022 02:21 To: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: Re: is mpm_event safe for modperl handler?

This is, in my opinion, mod_perl's fatal flaw which will doom it. -- The Wellcome Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE.
