I have tried reading some of the mod_perl docs but didn't find the answer to this one...
With a web server with mod_perl available, is the perl interpreter itself embedded in the mod_perl.so module, or does mod_perl.so load the perl interpreter from some external source, e.g. a libperl.so that is part of the systems normally perl installation.
I am interested primarily to know if upgrading the perl version on a system using mod_perl will:
a) cause the newer perl intrepreter to usedby Apache. b) break mod_perl by having perl modules that assume a recent version of the perl interpreter but actually get run under an older one in mod_perl.
Does anyone know please?
Steve.
