Mod_perl and perl version

RT Users

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I’m installing RT 3.0.4 on a fresh server and I’m getting tripped up installing
mod_perl. What I’m worried about is if I install mod_perl against perl 5.8.0,
will all scripts that get run on apache be executed using perl version 5.8.0?
Or can I lock that down to a specific vhost? There’s a series of perl scripts
in a different vhost than rt that are written for an older version of perl and I
don’t want them to be affected by the mod_perl installation.

Any that run under mod_perl will.

I’d recommend looking at fastcgi and/or speedycgi. They tend to play
a little nicer with others. :slight_smile:
