[mapserver-users] mapserver and mod_perl hybrid

[Markus Spring <m.spring@gmx.de>]

Hi list,

I am using mod_perl and mapserver in a hybrid environment: pre- and
postprocessing form data and html as well as coupling mysql data with
mapserver queries.

Having not dared to switch to mapscript for the generation of the
maps, I do this in a hybrid way by running the mapserver executable
from inside the mod_perl apache server.

This is a very stable solution which gives me complete freedom over my
html and sql database but maybe it is not the most performant way to
achieve my goals.

I would like to know if anybody does use mod_perl and mapscript to for
mapserver purposes and if there are any pitfalls to avoid.

Markus
