Yes, mod_perl has a fully-functional, all-singing, all-dancing perl interpreter embeded inside apache that can do everything a normal perl binary can.... including OO. -Blake	[reply]

Greetings. Yes it does - as stated above - however be sure to read carefully the documentation regarding namespaces and recompilation issues, especially when running under Apachee::Registry. This said, the good news is that the OO coding style (or rather,a module oriented approach) will shield you from most of the pitfalls connected to MPWODT (mod_perl's way of doing things).

In addition to what's been said, you can even write object-oriented mod_perl handlers. These will be invoked as methods, can inherit from other classes, etc. `perldoc mod_perl_method_handlers` gives more information and examples on this cool feature.	[reply]
