in thread mod_perl vs. mod_php in multi-user environments

Or is mod_perl offering much more than mod_php?
Yes, but I thought I had already made that point in the first step.

mod_perl is raw access to every phase of the Apache request and service cycle. mod_php is an Apache::Template-like access to the content phase only and thus far more limited.

So to get "mod_perl" to act like PHP, you have to restrict it severely.

    Sorry, that was a misunderstanding on my part. Because you said "PHP", I thought you meant the PHP interpreter as CGI, rather than mod_php. Anyway, thanks for the good explanations, everyone -- hearing all these things about mod_perl makes me want to use it for a project :).
