[mrtg] Re: Using mod_perl

[Patrick Bartkus]

Rainer,

Just thought you would like to know the end of the story.

After much knashing of teeth and bits, our Unix admins FINALLY got mod_perl 
in and running. They downloaded perl-5.6.0 and apache-1.3.12. I had to go 
back and recompile rrdtool and mrtg with the new perl (so I downloaded the 
latest versions of  those while I was at it).

Anyway, it is finally running and boy, is it noticably faster! I'd say it 
takes about half the time it used to to paint screens.

The changes I had to make were to all my shee-bang lines to reference the 
new perl (for people who had bookmarked the old pages) and to change all my 
URL references from http://apache-server/cgi-bin/14all.cgi to 
http://apache-server/perl/14all.cgi.
