Use mod_perl2 in production environment?

[Tom Schindl]

Hi guys,

within the next 2 months I have to create an webapplication from scratch
using mod_perl for a customer.

The customer wanted to host the application at his provider which
refuses the installation of Apache2+mod_perl2 because he considers them
to be Beta-Software whereas he considers Apache1+mod_perl1 under Win32
to be stable.

My job is it now to write a response to our customer and I want to have
some information from developers and/or users about the stability of
Apache2+mod_perl2+Unix and Apache1+mod_perl1+Win32.

thx

Tom

This is kinda comparing apples to oranges.

mod_perl1+Apache1+Win32 is a single threaded environment.  Apache
can only accept one request at a time.  Not a good idea for a production
environment.  If a server request takes a long time, everyone waits in line until
that is complete.

I would think that Apache1+mod_perl1+Unix is your most stable option.
If you have to go with Win32, I would suggest going with Apache2+mod_perl2.
Although it's technically not 100%, I've been using it for the past 4
months with no problems (YET!).

Good Luck,
Mike

Note that this is written up on the site as well:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/os/win32/index.html

In addition, any use of sockets created by your code will be a problem
with mod_perl 1 on win32.
