ModPerl is a free, OpenSource PlugInModule for the OpenSource ApacheWebServer. It embeds Perl into the webserver so that (among other things) bits of Perl code can be used to change the behavior of the webserver.
One of the most important uses of ModPerl is allowing Perl programs to run directly in the webserver. This means that you can, in effect, program the webserver in Perl. This can produce a speedup over the use of CGIPrograms, since the program stays resident in memory. A good example of a large real-world site which is entirely driven by Apache and ModPerl is the Internet Movie Database at http://us.imdb.com/ |
