Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-a94668408d
2018-09-07 15:22:29.302433
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mod_perl
Product : Fedora 27
Version : 2.0.10
Release : 9.fc27
URL :
http://perl.apache.org/
Summary : An embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache HTTP Server
Description :
Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.
Mod_perl links the Perl run-time library into the Apache web server and
provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language
API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since
no external Perl interpreter has to be started.
Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd
like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter.
