Re: [pws] mod_perl

[Spencer <sp...@me...>]

Hello Ian,
	PerlWebServer is written entirely in perl to maintain
portability.  Unfortunately, mod_perl for Apache is actually C code that
binds perl to the Apache framework, and would not be easily included
here.  But I do think that mod_perl is an excellent server extension and
one that should be incorporated into PerlWebServer.  The problem is to
design and write a mod_perl extension in 100% pure perl.  I think this
is a great idea, but I won't be able to get to it for a while.
	Any one out there who would like to attempt this is more than
welcome!  I realize documentation about PWS is poor, but I will try to
answer any questions people may have about design, API, or whatever.
