ModPerl::Registry - Run unaltered CGI scripts persistently under mod_perl

URIs in the form of http://example.com/perl/test.pl will be compiled as the body of a Perl subroutine and executed. Each child process will compile the subroutine once and store it in memory. It will recompile it whenever the file (e.g. test.pl in our example) is updated on disk. Think of it as an object oriented server with each script implementing a class loaded at runtime.

ModPerl::RegistryBB - Run unaltered CGI scripts persistently under mod_perl

ModPerl::RegistryBB is similar to ModPerl::Registry, but does the bare minimum (mnemonic: BB = Bare Bones) to compile a script file once and run it many times, in order to get the maximum performance. Whereas ModPerl::Registry does various checks, which add a slight overhead to response times.

ModPerl::RegistryCooker - Cook mod_perl 2.0 Registry Modules

ModPerl::RegistryCooker is used to create flexible and overridable registry modules which emulate mod_cgi for Perl scripts. The concepts are discussed in the manpage of the following modules: ModPerl::Registry, ModPerl::Registry and ModPerl::RegistryBB.

ModPerl::RegistryLoader - Compile ModPerl::RegistryCooker scripts at server startup

This modules allows compilation of scripts, running under packages derived from ModPerl::RegistryCooker, at server startup. The script's handler routine is compiled by the parent server, of which children get a copy and thus saves some memory by initially sharing the compiled copy with the parent and saving the overhead of script's compilation on the first request in every httpd instance.

ModPerl::RegistryPrefork - Run unaltered CGI scripts under mod_perl

ModPerl::Util - Helper mod_perl Functions

ModPerl::Util provides mod_perl utilities API.

Part IV: Helper Modules / Applications

Apache2::compat -- 1.0 backward compatibility functions deprecated in 2.0

Apache2::compat provides mod_perl 1.0 compatibility layer and can be used to smooth the transition process to mod_perl 2.0.

Apache2::porting -- a helper module for mod_perl 1.0 to mod_perl 2.0 porting

Apache2::porting helps to port mod_perl 1.0 code to run under mod_perl 2.0. It doesn't provide any back-compatibility functionality, however it knows to trap methods calls that are no longer in the mod_perl 2.0 API and tell what should be used instead if at all. If you attempts to use mod_perl 2.0 methods without first loading the modules that contain them, it will tell you which modules you need to load. Finally if your code tries to load modules that no longer exist in mod_perl 2.0 it'll also tell you what are the modules that should be used instead.

Apache2::Reload - Reload Perl Modules when Changed on Disk

Apache2::Reload reloads modules that change on the disk.

Apache2::Resource - Limit resources used by httpd children

Apache2::Resource uses the BSD::Resource module, which uses the C function setrlimit to set limits on system resources such as memory and cpu usage.
