Re: LAMP Question -- Perl AND PHP



It's been my experience that both have similar performance.  For your
sanity's sake, I suggest doing the static mod_perl installation, then
one you have apache and mod_perl up and running, install php
dynamically.

Keep in mind that this isn't gospel, just what's worked best for me.
You may very well be able to compile both of them as static modules, it
just seems that the mod_perl installation doesn't lend itself to easily
to that solution.
