PHP is easy to install as a RPM (requires apache was installed as a rpm) or from source. If you build it from source, you can compile it as a apache module and as long as your apache was configured with DSO support then you can plug php into it. you can also configure PHP directly into apache, this requires that you recompile apache. If you benchmark the two the later will be faster, now if it's noticable, I don't know.
Once you download the PHP source the install doc has good directions on how to compile apache and php. But like Brian keeps saying, it shouldn't be too difficult to add mysql hooks into you perl app. On Sat, 2002-01-12 at 21:20, Jake McHenry wrote: > Ok, I have DBI-perl-bin installed, from a rpm, if that helps.
