As some of you may recall from prior messages on this list I've been meaning to take this extra step for a while now, and finally I've decided it's time to do it. Mod_perl has gained considerable momentum lately with high profile sites using it, and I feel it would benefit some companies to have someone they can turn to for support or training or mod_perl application development. So here's what amounts to a press release (I'll be making a web page about all this a little later - in the meantime contact me directly for more information): FastNet Software Ltd are proud to announce commercial support, consultancy and training for mod_perl, the apache-perl integration project. Services offered include application design and development, email based support, on-site training, cgi-to-mod_perl conversion, full consultancy services, server installation, service optimisation, hosting, and a range of other services. FastNet are a growing Scotland based internet company specialising in Perl-based solutions whose previous clients have included O'Reilly and Associates, Ericsson Mobile Communications, and The BBC. Initially we will be focussing on Scotland and UK clients if on-site work is required, although we have experience of remote teleworking for international customers. mod_perl is a module that embeds a perl interpreter in the Apache web server, providing a range of different functionality through add-on modules, not least of which is script caching, persistent database connections and access to the full Apache API from perl. Mod_perl is used by many high profile, high performance web sites such as Slashdot.org and the Internet Movie Database for serving dynamic content to millions of users. For more information please contact Matt Sergeant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or call on +44 1506 419813 between the hours of 0900 and 1800 GMT. -- <Matt/> Details: FastNet Software Ltd - XML, Perl, Databases.
