Re: [Alug] Apache mod_perl - Does it have the perl interpreter build into mod_perl or does it load it from elsewhere
Steve Fosdick:
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.
"It depends." If you're just using the normal perl you get with most distributions, then I think mod_perl has most of the perl interpreter inside it. If you're using a perl built as the mod_perl docs instruct you to, then it's nearly all loaded in from a shared library. To be safe, recompile your mod_perl or install the two perls side-by-side. -- MJR

Thanks Mark. I have checked the docs that seem to come with the mod_perl source but can find no instructions for the building of perl itself, only the mod_perl module and apache. Do you have a reference? If not do you know what the options are I should specify. At a first guess I would assume to be that perl should use the system malloc rather than it's own and build the perl.so shared library but I would like to be sure. Steve.
