Appendix C. ISPs Providing mod_perl Services

This appendix proposes a few techniques for deploying mod_perl on ISP machines. Therefore, it's mostly relevant to ISP technical teams and ISP users who need to convince their providers to provide them with mod_perl services.

There are at least four different scenarios for deploying mod_perl-enabled Apache servers that ISPs may consider:

• Users sharing a single web server

• Users sharing a single machine

• Giving each user a separate machine

• Giving each user a virtual machine

This appendix covers each of those scenarios.
