in reply to mod_perl vs. mod_php in multi-user environments
The PHP safe mode is an attempt to solve the shared-server security problem. It is architecturally incorrect to try to solve this problem at the PHP level, but since the alternatives at the web server and OS levels aren't very realistic, many people, especially ISP's, use safe mode for now.The same applies to perl.
ISPs running mod_php most likely have safe mode on. There is no direct perl equivalent, but like merlyn said, you could setup a handler to run .perlhp files via a HTML::Embperl or Apache::Template handler which would run those through Safe (which may or may not be safe).
I've not seen anyone do this. Why? I don't know. merlyn?
