Re: [Koha-devel] mod_perl (was: DBIx::Class stuff)

      Hmm, I hope that isn't the case.  I have multiple instances of Koha
running on a server with mod_perl installed.  I haven't heard any
complaints so far.

I assume that C4::Context's overriding of Exporter's import method
is a big problem for anyone wishing to run more than one Koha instance
on a mod_perl enabled machine.  While it's convenient to be able to
just
call C4::Context->dbh  to get the active db handle from Context's
package
global $context,  I think we will have to refactor much of Koha's api
and start
passing a $context object around instead of using the package global.
Am I missing something, or will this be necessary to run multiple
Kohas 
under mod_perl ?

Hi Rick -
I've long suspected that Koha could benefit from using
        mod_perl, too.
        Do you know of any work done to see if it's possible or what
        changes
        would need to be made in order to allow it?
Thanks,
        -Andy
