which book for mod

Taulmarill has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks,
curently I´m setting up an apache with mod_perl and though i have some experience with perl i have none whith mod_perl yet (except the short snipet sri tought me).
So my question is, what book whoud you recomend. At the moment I had a closer look at "Writing Apache Modules" and "Practical mod_perl". After all I saw I think "Practical mod_perl" is the better book for me. What do you think? Are there other books I should know?
Please give some recomendations for books (english or german).

I think you are on the right track with using Practical mod_perl, this is actually the book I reference all the time and the book I recieved most of my experience from. UPDATE Also on a side note checkout Safari if you dont want to buy the book and look several books on the subject over you can just sign up for a free account and then browse if you do like what you see please sign up ;)	[reply]

In fact I think you should have both. Practical mod_perl is very good general coverage, Writing Apache modules gives you the good lower level info on all the various functionaility. You should also consider "mod_perl Developers Cookbook" by Young, Lindner and Kobes. I find all three of these are invaluable, I am relatively new to mod_perl programming (but have hundreds of thousands of lines of CGI behind me). jdtoronto	[reply]

This might be stating the obvious, but the online mod_perl guide is worth a read, and free to boot :-) There's a comprehensive list of mod_perl resources, books included, on the mod_perl site.	[reply]
