dear monks,

we will make a simple webservice public very soon. this beast now finally runs fine under mod_perl. now I am trying to find the best apache2 configuration. i've taken a simple example from the modperlbook:


<VirtualHost *:80>
 # default things like doc. root

Alias /perl/ /var/www/modperl/
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
<Location /perl/>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
    PerlSendHeader On
    Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

[download]

mod_perl is so powerful, and I am quite sure, many of you with much more experience have made nice virtualhost settings container like i have optimized my .vimrc over the years (bad example ;) ). would be cool to see one of yours. and yes I know that for every webapp the optimal settings are different. but a good start for a not that critical webservice should be possible, or not?

We use a CGI::Application based framework and a MySQL database (just in case this changes something)

ps: sorry if this sounds for you like "I am too lazy to RTFM". probably you are right ;) but time is limited and like i said already, it is not that critical.
