Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi.

I've installed mod_perl on one of my servers, but now I want to configure it so that I can really speed up perl scripts. I've read part of the docs at take23.org, but it's kind of confusing cause I'm not sure about how to get it running.

I would really appreciate if you could comment with the directives that I should put in the apache conf files for as to get mod_perl running in its simplest form.

Thanks a lot,
Ralph.

    You should start with mod_perl Guide. It covers most issues you can have with mod_perl. Yes, it is long. But you will save a lot of time in future if you will read it now.

    what is your os environment? some linux distributions have pre-compiled apaches with mod-perl. installation of one of those would represent a substantially easier installation, and would tend to minimize configuration problems.

    Hi. Yup, I already have mod_perl installed with apache. I just need to get it configured in the apache conf files. Ralph.
      And where is the question? If you have Apache with mod_perl then ... you have Apache with mod_perl. There are zillions of things you can configure in Apache with regards to mod_perl. Explain what you need.

      P.S. Have you read mod_perl Guide? In particular section mod_perl Configuration? If not then please read that guide and than return with questions.
