Gossamer Links Developers Guide: mod_perl Setup

mod_perl is, simply, integrating perl inside of the Apache web browser. Gossamer Links fully supports mod_perl, and it is very easy to get started.

Add the following section to your httpd.conf file:

    <Location /url/to/links/cgi>
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlHandler Apache::Registry
         PerlSendHeader On
         Options +ExecCGI
    </Location>

And to your perl startup file you need to add:

         use lib '/full/path/to/admin';
         use Links::mod_perl;

And you are done! Gossamer Links will pre load all the modules needed, and also sets up a mod_perl handler which can be used to increase performance for ceartain tasks.

For more information on mod_perl, please visit their home page at http://perl.apache.org.
