mod_perl - A Perl interpreter for the Apache Web server. Full Name: mod_perl-1.21-10.i386.rpm Source RPM: mod_perl-1.21-10.src.rpm Version: 1.21 Release 10 Group: System Environment/Daemons License: GPL Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Size: 1683 KB Description Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server, so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code. Mod_perl links the Perl runtime library into the Apache web server and provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since no external Perl interpreter has to be started. Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter.
