45-minute talk

mod_perl!

o/` *HUH* Good God! What is it good for? Absolutely everything! o/`

A whirlwind tour of the marvel which is mod_perl, hopefully providing answers to such questions as:

What exactly is this mod_perl doohickey anyhow?
What are the benifits of using mod_perl?
How do I customize access control to my web site with mod_perl?
Can I use mod_perl to speed up RDBMS access?
Are there any modules available specifically for use with mod_perl?
What can I learn about embedding perl in applications from mod_perl?
Were any lemurs harmed during the making of mod_perl?

( Well, maybe not that last one. )

Fletch is a quasiregular denizen of #perl. He currently works for a most excelent employer (Internet Security Systems) doing software development related things. Fletch lives in Atlanta, GA, with his wife Cathy, dogs Phydeaux and Reauxvur, and far too many computers for the liking of the aforementioned wife (no opinion has been expressed yet either way by the dogs). Fletch once wrote several chapters about Java for three editions of Java Unleashed (ISBN 1-57521-298-6; look for it in fine remainder bins everywhere), but he has long since repented this folly and returned to his dark master Perl.
