in thread mod_perl2 design - what are the Ways To Do It ?

But some of the apache-specific modules haven't been ported yet... right? Question is, should I wait for the port, or just move my code to them when they are ported to perl6 ? (in other words, are they comming soon?)

perl -e'$b=unpack"b*",pack"H*","59dfce2d6b1664d3b26cd9969503";\ for(;$a<length$b;$a+=9){print+pack"b8",substr$b,$a,8;}'

    I don't see where Perl6 comes into it. Both branches of mod_perl are working off Perl5 and will probably continue to do so for some time. There is a mod_parrot project underway, though. IMHO, working at the Parrot level makes more sense, as it gives Apache integration with a bunch of other languages for free.

    You are correct that not all the old modules work on mod_perl2 yet. You need to ask yourself if you need to use any of the modules that don't currently work. If not, then go ahead and use mod_perl2. If so, you must either use mod_perl1, be willing to put effort into porting those modules, or wait.

      I was trying tro make a joke about waiting for something indefinitely. Oh, well, maybe I should not persue a career in comedy...
