in reply to mod_perl and worker MPM
If you're running on Windows, you'll want to use the worker MPM. On *nix type systems, the path of least resistance is still to stick with prefork. Not all modules are written in a thread-safe manner, so depending on what you are using, you can run into issues. But people have been running tons of CPAN modules under prefork for years. |

The gist is correct, but Windows actually uses an MPM called mpm_winnt. The worker MPM is not the default on any OS, but can be used on Unixy systems for static files, where it generally outperforms prefork. I like to make my front-end proxy server use the worker MPM for the performance gain on static files. | [reply] |
