With mod_perl, developers can harness the power of a full Apache API and develop Web applications quickly and without sacrificing performance. This book takes developers from the basics of mod_perl to the development of sophisticated Web applications. Developers will learn tricks, solutions, and mod_perl idioms collected from the authors experience as developers and expert users of mod_perl. Geoffrey Young is a frequent contributor to the mod_perl community and has written dozens of mod_perl handlers, the most useful that can be found on CPAN. Paul Lindner manages, designs, and implements mod_perl applications at Critical Path.
