No, I use CentOS. I don't use RHEL.

It appears that I know more about mod_perl than the people who make 
CentOS or the RH distributions.

Look, I just started using CentOS a few months back. I try to make a 
helpful suggestion, to take some of the load off other people, for the 
first time, and I get insulted.

Is that how you get people to help out on this project?

The people who have direct experience with using perl on this thread 
have seemed to support my view.

Plus, it appears only the folks with perl experience are the ones who 
are actually trying to answer the original poster's question. Neither 
you nor Jim Perrin have provided an answer that can solve his problem.
