The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power of the
|
|
Perl programming language and the Apache HTTP server. This is achieved by
|
|
linking the Perl runtime library into the server and providing an object
|
|
oriented Perl interface to the server's C language API.
|
|
|
|
These pieces are seamlessly glued together by the `mod_perl' server
|
|
plugin, making it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl.
|
|
In addition, the persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the
|
|
overhead of starting an external interpreter program and the additional
|
|
Perl start-up (compile) time.
