Scott Penrose - Benefits of using mod_perl 2
Scott will be demonstrating the huge benefits of working with Mod
Perl 2 in Apache2 and Perl. Apache 2 development is fun easy and very
rewarding. mod_perl 2 was released in December 2004 as stable into
Apache 2 space, and is an official part of the Apache project. Scott
will be demonstrating the use of Authentication Modules, Standard
Handlers (the things that create content like CGI and PHP) and of
course the incoming and outgoing filters (fun with changing stuff on
the fly) - but also some other handlers - one which creates new
environment variables on the fly to existing code (useful for SSI,
CGI, PHP etc). The benefits of filters and handlers that can do a sub-
request are shown with his new module Apache::Thumbnail. Most of all
Scott will be demonstrating Apache 2 mod_perl modules working in and
together with other languages - filtering Java, Authentication PHP
and more. In a grand finale a short demonstration of the Editure
myinternet Suite ported to using the Zaltana framework will show the
steps and how easy it was.
Simon Taylor - 'Interesting new things in the Perl DBI module'

will be covering:
