Forgive me if I sound like a total idiot here.

I thought IDS was already written to work with mod_perl. If so, how does 
one go about getting apache to run IDS under mod_perl. So simple a 
question, but I keep getting info on how to rewrite IDS, or other programs, 
to work with mod_perl. I don't want to do that, I just want to run IDS 
using mod_perl.

I have read where one did get mod_perl to work with IDS, although as you 
said, eats up a bit of memory, but when my system has 512M, shouldn't be 
too much of a problem. *grins*

Isn't there a saying about linux docs in general? :-)

Wish list: mod_perl for dummies. *grins* I found those series of books have 
more _usefull_ information then most tech books out there.
