<H2><A NAME="s17">17. Perl</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Perl and Apache make a powerful and popular combination. There are several projects
|
|
that use these two technologies.
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss17.1">17.1 Embperl</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Embperl allows embedding of Perl in HTML pages. These pages are processed in the server
|
|
before they are delivered to the client. It is similar to
|
|
<A HREF="Apache-Overview-HOWTO-18.html#php">PHP</A>.

|
<H2><A NAME="ss17.2">17.2 Mason</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.masonhq.com/">Mason project</A> embeds Perl in HTML
|
|
with a reusable component model approach. It allows caching, templating, etc.
|
|
<H2><A NAME="mod_perl"></A> <A NAME="ss17.3">17.3 Mod_Perl</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<A HREF="http://perl.apache.org/">mod_perl</A> is one of the most
|
|
veteran and successful Apache projects. It embeds a Perl interpreter
|
|
in Apache and allows access to the web server internals from
|
|
Perl. This allows for entire modules to be written in Perl or a
|
|
mixture of Perl and C code. In the 1.3 Apache versions, one
|
|
interpreter has to be embedded in each child, since the server is
|
|
multiprocess based. In heavy traffic dynamic sites, the increased
|
|
size could make a difference. Apache 2.0 is multithreaded, as recent
|
|
versions of Perl are. The next generation of mod_perl takes advantage
|
|
of this and allows for sharing of code, data and session state among
|
|
interpreters. This results in a faster, leaner solution.
