apache uses mod_perl
mod_perl was dropped from Apache in 2.4, and Red Hat followed suit with RHEL 7.
What is it using instead?
The rh-httpd24 does not seem to use a more recent version of perl.
But there is a package 'rh-perl524-mod_perl’.
That must be someone’s backport. As someone who migrated a mod_perl based app off of mod_perl several years ago, I recommend that you do not use it, unless you have old mod_perl based software that you cannot migrate to newer technologies like FastCGI, Plack, etc.
Migrating it is one thing I need look into.
I hope this does not strike you as inconsistent with respect to my prior posts, since that would be to construct a false equivalence between abandoned software and maintained stable software that is getting no new features.
Not at all --- the point is that software usually becomes abandoned once a more recent version becomes available.
Also, you speak of CGI. CGI is not at all the same thing as mod_perl. You use one or the other, not both together. You’d know it if you were using mod_perl.
I never really cared what it´s using because it simply works. Only it doesn´t work on Centos because the perl version it uses is too old.
Since I don´t want to rewrite the software, what else can I do but look for a way to get it to work before concluding that Centos is not suited for this purpose.
