Hi, Some years ago my company "Shopping.com" merged with another internet company "Epinions". Our front end was based on "mod_perl/mason" framework and epinons's FE based on PHP. When I asked one of their senior programmers how they solved some specific problem with php, he told me they did not find solution for it in php and he write apache module in "C". php is more simple until you need to solve more complicated problems. mod_perl is much more flexible because it's direct access to apache internals and additional flexibility in apache configuration ( about half of our "httpd.conf" file was in <Perl> blocks ). The problem is that using mod_perl requires good understanding of apache architecture and internals. If you can get programmer with such experience ( or you have enough time to learn it ) mod_perl is much better because you can solve very complicated problems very fast. e.g.: our mod_perl system processed about 20 millions unique users a month thanks Pinkhas Nisanov _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
