The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Mod_perl has been around for a long time, and I would think would be compile-able. Mod_perl embeds the Perl interpreter in the Apache engine and so you get a pretty decent performance improvement. But you'd have to compile it yourself, unless someone has a shared lib binary somewhere. However, from my time earlier on doing Perl on the web I think there are a few differences in how your write your programs. I may be wrong, or it may have changed, but I remember having to do some things differently from CGI Perl and mod_perl.
... or... you could use PHP. It's fun AND satisfying. :-)

Has anyone on this list use perl on an iSeries for web development? I know perl can run on i, we have a 3rd party app that uses it for some processes and I know perl can be used for web development on unix/linux platforms but I can't say I have ever heard of anyone using perl for web development on i.
Perl is a fantastic tool for processing flat text files! Truly
fantastic! Perl is the iPhone of regular expressions :D (or something)
The major problem with USING Perl for web development is that you want
the programs running _inside_ the webserver for speed. This means C and
glue code and has been done for Apache, but apparently not ported to OS/400?
Anyone using it?
