An excellent investment

We have been using perl for our server side programming for over 6 years now. During this period, the popularity of our web based applications has grown. To deal with the growth, we have had to optimize the programs, as well as look at alternate server setup strategies. We acquired this book as it covers both the topics of our interest -- mod_perl for efficiency of perl programs and setting up servers that use mod_perl.

In the course of the optimizations, we have gradually moved into the mod_perl world. It has yielded significant performance improvement, probably making our web application more than 50 times as fast. "Practical mod_perl" served as a guide while we carried out this transition, which has resulted in dramatic savings in our server costs. I have no hesitation in saying that this wonderful book is perhaps the best investment we have ever made in technology.
