Summary: Good Perl Apache Module Reference
Comment: While this book is a bit outdated and technology has greatly changed since this text was released in 1999, this is still a solid reference for anyone that works with Apache and still needs to support writing modules with Perl (not as much with C). At a hefty size of over 700+ pages, this text will certainly help you do the job and it's a great bargain for this specialty text.

Summary: best $2.00 I ever spent!
Comment: I bought this book awhile ago USED here on Amazon (for $2.00!), and it was worth every penny!
Although this book is old, it has some useful reference material that can still be applied today.
It doesn't mention as much about C as it does PERL, but it does cover the basic fundamental principles of using either language to create your own apache modules, which was more of what I was interested in.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good book for Perl modules for Apache.
Comment: Not much there for C, although it's not too difficult to make use of the Perl topics and covert them to C, it's more geared towards Perl (much more). That's too bad. Still, it's a good book and is very useful for referencing as well as for people looking to learn more about this topic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: If you want C don't bother with this book
Comment: It's all in Perl. The book says "Apache Modules with Perl and C" but really, it's all in Perl. The only mentions I've seen in C are the very very beginning, and the end that restates the Apache documentation. If you bought this book thinking it will have sample C code, you would be wrong. If you like Perl, then this is the book for you, but if you prefer C, as I do, then you will have wasted your money.
