Many people have contributed to this book over the long period while
it was in the works.
First things first. This book wouldn't exist without
Doug MacEachern, creator of mod_perl. Doug's
preliminary overview of mod_perl 2.0 was used as the basis of Chapter 24 and Chapter 25.
We're also greatly indebted to many people who
contributed chapters or appendixes to this book. Andreas Koenig
contributed Chapter 16, with helpful corrections,
additions, and comments from Ask Björn Hansen, Frank D.
Cringle, Mark Kennedy, Doug MacEachern, Tom Hukins, and Wham Bang.
Matt Sergeant contributed Appendix E, with helpful
comments from Robin Berjon. Andy Wardley contributed Appendix D.
We cannot thank enough the following reviewers, who have reviewed
huge portions of the book (or the whole book) and provided good
advice: Andreas Koenig, Ged Haywood, Gunther Birznieks, Issac
Goldstand, Mark Summerfield, Paul Wilt, Per Einar Ellefsen, Philippe
M. Chiasson, and Robin Berjon. Thank you, guys. Without you, this
book wouldn't be nearly as useful as it is now.
The following people also contributed much to the book: Aaron
Johnson, Ask Björn Hansen, Brian Ingerson, David Landgren,
Doug MacEachern, Ed Philips, Geoff Young, Pat Eyler, Perrin Harkins,
