This is achieved by +linking the Perl runtime library into the server and providing an object +oriented Perl interface to the server's C language API. + +These pieces are seamlessly glued together by the `mod_perl' server +plugin, making it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl. +In addition, the persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the +overhead of starting an external interpreter program and the additional +Perl start-up (compile) time. |
