in reply to Downgrading mod_perl

the least obtrusive way it to make their application run under perl 5.8.6. :)

Why does their application require an older version of perl? What happens when they try it with the current mod_perl set-up?

    If I were to guess...

    Often, the reason is: "It's known to work with this version."

    There's also an issue of incompatilibty with 5.6 and 5.8 XS binaries (I think).
