in reply to Why mod_perl is good for PHP

What's wrong with Apache? It's Open Source, it's free, it sets up easily and it is the world's most used web-server, so what would stop anyone from using it?

It can run Perl (through mod_perl), PHP (through mod_php) and Python (through mod_python, mod_snake and PyApache).

Apache: "serve all, love all" (with my apologies to HardRock Cafe)

    I noticed this briefly last week but didin't look into it. I think the new threaded Apache2/mod_perl2 allows you to keep a different (perl) interpreter thread for each virtual host. What this meant to me was that my hosting provider will now be able to give me a mod_perl environment to develop on because I will no longer be sharing a perl interpreter with their other customers. If this is true, then it has a more important meaning to me: the mod_perl2 developers had this problem in mind when designing mp2 so there will be a lot of new benefits for people who don't host their own servers.
