mod_perl
With Perl embedded into the Apache server, mod_perl can offer unprecedented performance increases with dynamic content. mod_perl can be enabled from our control panel on both our shared and dedicated plans, so you're no longer restricted to paying for a dedicated server in order to enjoy the benefits of mod_perl. The control panel also allows you to start and stop your mod_perl server as well as view detailed information about the state of the mod_perl server.
mod_perl details
Our mod_perl setup uses a dual web server setup with one light web server that doesn't contain mod_perl, and one mod_perl enabled web server.
Requests from the Internet go first to the light web server, which then proxies those requests requiring mod_perl over to the mod_perl server. All other requests are handled by the light web server, allowing for optimum speed.
The domain owner has full control over the mod_perl server, and can set it up to just run simple CGI scripts in Apache::PerlRun mode, or use it to run custom mod_perl handlers.
