in reply to What if mod_perl is not an option?

You can use Perl/CGI and it may work for a while, but I recommend swap your ISP and consider using postgres.

    Sorry, but I don not understand what's wrong with Perl/CGI that needs to be replaced by postgres (PostgreSQL). Perl/CGI is a way to make dynamic web-pages and postgres is a database. The one cannot replace the other, they have to work together. Or am I missing something subtle here?

      Yes, I suggest to use postgres with mod_perl. If this is really, really, really not possible, stay with CGI and mysql.

        Without trying to derail this thread (which is more to do with CGI versus mod_perl rather than MySQL), you still haven't really explained why he should also switch to postgres. Is there a specific reason why he shouldn't continue on using MySQL, even with mod_perl (assuming he had the option)?
