Help Test mod_perl 2 Release Candidates
stas writes "After almost 3 years of work mod_perl 2 is almost ready for its 2.0.0 release. We plan to make the gold release in a few weeks. Please help to test the release candidates by starting to port your mod_perl 1 applications to mod_perl 2. Make sure to read the documentation and report
any problems that you may have discovered. Thanks."
BTW, is there such a thing as a perl framework? No, not mason or something like that. That's like using smarty. I'll just include my PHP pages thanks, or embperl, but I'm not liking the idea of just having environment variables with global scope where my pages slurp up all the info done in the mod_perl pre-processing.
I meant more than a simple include or template. Perl can already read files and do regex search and replace. Something to handle security, sessions, action-chaining, application state, data validation, resource pooling, etc., beyond what is provided by the Apache API and miscellaneous packages like DBI that I handle manually. So either your answer is "no" or "I don't know" -- which is it?
I did read every one of them. OpenInteract looks like a good starting point, but it doesn't look like it has much of a user base, and probably won't fit my usage. I was expressing my contempt earlier for people who suggest something like Mason as a framework when I complain about PHP.
