Re: About perl6 and apache

Anonymous Monk,
As you may or may not know, Perl 6 is intended to be a complete specification such that multiple implementations are possible. The plan, to the best of my knowledge, is still to target Parrot in the primary implementation. Jeff Horwitz last year had a proof of concept mod_parrot working. Unfortunately, I think that this is on an extremely far back burner.

Cheers - L~R

:-) I really dont care how it will be named, but I hope that the system will allow us restart coding perl as free scripts to general webmasters use, actually I only see a real aplication to perl on dedicated servers where you will use modperl or fastcgi.... Looking at hotscripts.com we can take an idea of this... php is killing perl (for sure Im talking only about perl for web) .... The production of php is growing and perl is going down... and maybe this "bad" support for small projects wich runs under virtual accounts (and represent the majority) can to explain .... Also, the usage of Catalyst will not help for sure, will create more a problem... wich virtual host offer it? For my projects I use mason, but I will be on a dual dedicated server with modperl2 and all I need to run perl good .	[reply]

Catalyst runs under many configurations, like mod_perl, CGI, FastCGI or using its own server, so it offers many options depending on what your hosting service provides. There are tutorials here on how to install modules even without shell and root access, and also how to bundle up your applications together with all required modules so you don't need to rely on your hosting service to provide the stuff you need.

The problem is not how easy is to code, I can create my own template system, and all the other modules wich the script will need, so but when I will offer it to the people .. they will prefer that bad coded php script, because it will run faster and will not make the host take his forum, directory or any other small site, down.. this is the point.
