mod_perl 2 User's Guide
by Stas Bekman & Jim Brandt
mod_perl 2, the next generation of the Apache Perl module, gives you full access to the Apache 2 internals via the Perl programming language, just as mod_perl 1 gave you access to Apache 1. New features in Apache and Perl make mod_perl 2 even more powerful and useful than before, allowing you to quickly write and deploy fast, robust web applications.
As with any major upgrade, there are new features and key changes to mod_perl from the 1.x generation. The mod_perl 2 User's Guide explains these key changes and demonstrates the tools that you can use to port modules and migrate your existing code.
Whether you're new to mod_perl or migrating from mod_perl 1, the mod_perl 2 User's Guide will give you the information you need to get up and running on Apache 2 and mod_perl 2.

Gravitas
read the Gravitas excerpt!
The city is a haven for dreamers and idealists who spend their time in ornately mundane ways. Now and then someone escapes to touch the face of the sky.
Life is what you make it. It's hard to be a grown-up but too easy to take things seriously.
One day, Ben woke up with a good job, a house, and no idea what he wanted out of life. Then she knocked his comfortable world askew.
In one brief moment of clarity, he saw the whole picture: life, the universe, and his place in it. Now all he knows is that if he can do it again, he has a chance to achieve what everyone wants.
A word from our authors...
"Aliens!" The Dread Pirate Jack Spartan spit the word carelessly across the beach.
He sat just shy of the water's edge and watched the ship—his ship!—soar ever smaller to the lee of the sun, where a shadowy hulk menaced the otherwise blue sky.
There would be no third hijacking, he resolved.
The tropical sun bore down. Jack found shade under a palm tree and resumed his reading. He'd risked his skin to save a small satchel of books.
"Aliens," he grumbled again. They'd pay... and the words under his fingers began to tickle an idea in his head.
