HP3000 Folks,

I'm posting this note of thanks to Mark Bixby for porting mod_perl.

This weekend we patched our system to the prescribed patches Mark
suggested.
We compiled Apache/1.3.12 (MPE/iX) mod_perl/1.24 and tested it out.

The following is the note I sent Mark.

Mark,

With your great help I compiled the binaries from scratch into my
APACHEPL account.
I acquired a printenv.pl script to print out my  mod_perl environment.

I also ran this script from the APACHEFW account to see the
difference in speed and it's environment.

******************************************************************************

I noticed the speed is considerable.

I tested some perl CGI scripts which use "callci".
These scripts run a little faster in the mod_perl environment.
( I execute some QUERY command files from within perl  when I use
"callci".)

Scripts written in pure perl in the mod_perl environment run
really fast!!!

Thanks alot.
