Re^4: Another prediction of Perl's demise

Are you confusing HTTP with CGI? CGI is a specification allowing communication of a HTTP request and a HTTP response between two programs by means of a combination of environment variables, STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. mod_perl doesn't set or use those env vars, and I doubt that mod_php does, so neither use CGI at all.

mod_perl doesn't set or use those env vars Not for handlers, no. It does when you run Perl code through the perl-script handler. Also, the standard filehandles are never directly connected to the browser, though you can usually pretend they are.
