Using mod_php and mod_perl

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/02/14]

Does anyone have any info on running mod_php and mod_perl on the same 
server for a single 'web application' ?

I'm about 1/2way done with a webapp that has been taking me a while 
under mod_perl.

A friend just showed me somme of the outlines for a book on php5 he's 
finishing up -- many of the things that are on my to-do list would be 
way easier/faster to handle/template under php.

I'm all about using the right-tool-for the right job, and I'm debating 
now whether it would be worth doing some of that user-presentation 
stuff under php.

perl,  and specifically mod_perl , is the right tool for all the admin 
tasks and apache API interaction.  log/db analysis is done via python 
scripts.

some of the general user presentation would probably develop well under 
php -- but I dont want to consider that at the expense of the mod_perl 
processes.

The mod_perl cookbook discusses some of this lightly -- I've been 
unable to find any real-world examples online, or any talks of 
efficiency on a setup like that.

Anyone have an idea?
