SUBJECT	Re: [Hangout - NYLXS] New Windows mod_perl2/libapreq2 build
Many thanks. Nowadays, we tend to deal increasingly with Linux servers rather than Win32/64, but it is nice anyway that someone cares for this, as we still have some customers with legacy Win servers that they want to keep and update from time to time. (And it is also nice for our development/support workstations). We have quite a few real-world applications based on perl and mod_perl, which in themselves have been running reliably for years without any needed changes due to perl itself. But we do get in trouble from time to time because customers insist on changing the platform on which these applications are running. By the way, and in the somewhat OT gist of the discussions about perl's evolution, I feel that there is one argument about perl that is being consistently overlooked and/or undervalued : The fact that applications written in perl many years ago (as much as 20 years sometimes), are still running unchanged today, despite numerous changes of versions, platforms, OS'es etc.. () I do not think that there is any* other current programming language (or "framework") which equals that record. This may sound a bit like a "dinosaur" argument, but just think of all the time and resources (and thus ultimately, money) which people programming in other languages have had to spend during the same period, just to keep the same things running, and you can get a measure of perl's "productivity" in comparison. I totally understand the desire of some to modernise perl and make it more attractive to new generations of programmers. But it would be a shame if in the process, perl (5,7) lost this rather unique quality and positioning. P.S. And of course, that longevity and stability of perl, is all to the credit of people like you, who have been supporting and maintaining it over the years, for (in my view) much too little public recognition and reward in the end. (*) a bit more on topic : the most "traumatic" events in those many years as far as our perl programming was concerned, have been the changes from Apache 1.x to 2.0, and later the changes from 2.2 to 2.4 in terms of AAA. (So, not in perl itself, but in the way it interacts with Apache). I think that nothing else really "registered", even over many OSes such as all the versions of Windows-es, SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, Unix-es, Linux, to name only the few which I remember running our applications on. Applications of which we only ever needed one version, running everywhere.
