Re: mod_perl session beans

Most of the frameworks have some kind of integrated session system, or you can use Apache::SessionManager. There are various other options on CPAN for different types of tracking (URI vs. cookie), etc.

Caching between processes is tricky, and has to involve some kind of IPC. The modules Cache::FastMmap and BerkeleyDB are good for local use, while Cache::Memcached or careful use of MySQL are the fastest for clustered caching.

Many thanks, I think a combination of Cache::Memcached and some choice SQL for updating the values stored should work well especially as scalability is important. I use CGI::Aplication and am interested in AxKit, which framework do you think is the best?	[reply]

The framework you will like best depends greatly on how you like to work. AxKit is a good one for people who want to work primarilly with XML. Apache::ASP is a good one people who like to use in-line perl code in pages. OpenInteract is good for people who want an MVC approach. Take a look and figure out which one is best suited to your style of working.	[reply]
