I was wondering if mod_perl is included in the e-smith distro and if it's not I'd like to officially request it. It would greatly aid in developing an intranet. I know perl is included but mod_perl would make it soooo much faster.

BTW - E-Smith is an outstanding product. Keep up the good work.

Doesn't appear that mod_perl is included (ls /etc/httpd/modules | grep perl) although I can't see why one can't install any apache module as long as the template files under /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf are also modified (in fact, it appears that the httpd.conf template has the mod_perl.c module commented out)
This is from E-Smith 3.0.3_1
HTH,

Exactly right. This is the standard Apache configuration for Red Hat Linux. I assume they don't include mod_perl by default because it makes the web server so memory-hungry.
You're right that you can just drop in the new module and update the template files accordingly. We'll consider including mod_perl in the next version of e-smith.

Sounds like a good idea in general, for intranet and web site
development work. People should not though that mod_perl
cannot be used for the e-smith management scripts - the
architecture requires these to be external scripts.
