Re^2: Migrating from PHP to Perl for the web.

I never even knew that PHP::Interpreter existed! This might very well ease any transistion I make.

I'm curious as to any limits I might run into if I ran mod_perl as opposed to perl CGI. Do I loose anything on that front?

mod_perl does not really impose any limits as compared to vanilla Perl - in fact it lets you get up close and personal with Apache if you want. What you do lose with mod_perl as say compared to vanilla Perl is the ability to write sloppy, poorly structured code. I recommend reading this this from the mod_perl documentation before you read anything else. There are a few traps, some simple and some fascinating/excruciating but you need to use mod_perl to get the same performance as mod_php. http://www.linux.com/feature/55807	[reply]
