lingering_closes - made its debut this week [11]

news
o Netcraft mod_perl statistics are out for September [15]

FAQ of the week
o What can be done to better advocate mod_perl?
Apparently, everyone has an opinion :) There were several
threads this week that focused on mod_perl advocacy. It all
started (this time) with Stas sending out an RFC [16]. This
spawned 21 related threads (by my count). The largest of these
is now 104 messages long [17]. Some of the more focused
departures are about
easier installation [18]
certification [19]
object orientation [20]
Sorting through all these is an exercise left to the reader...
links
o The Apache/Perl Integration Project [21]
o mod_perl documentation [22]
o mod_perl modules on CPAN [23]
o mod_perl homepage [24]
o mod_perl list archives [25]
happy mod_perling...
