CREDITS - The many mod_perl contributors




<HR>
<H1><A NAME="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION

</A></H1>
While Doug MacEachern is behind the majority of mod_perl's design, code and
documentation, he and mod_perl never would have made it this far without
the help from everyone in the mod_perl community. His heartfelt thanks goes
out to all of you!



There are thousands of people who have contributed to what mod_perl is
today. This file is here to recognize the tremendous efforts of the major
contributors to the mod_perl effort.



This file is generated by a Perl script which sorts by name.

</A><DD>
For *lots* of bug spotting, fixing and patching since the early days.
Andreas introduced the Apache::Registry that we all know and love. He put a
great deal of time and effort into CGI.pm overhaul efforts (aka CGI::XA
& CGI::Switch). Various contributions to the Apache/Perl API. PAUSE
efforts beyond the call of ``duty''. Apache::Stage and Apache::Gzip chain
modules on CPAN. Andreas was the first to run mod_perl on a production
site, the Perl Authors Upload Server, aka PAUSE.

claiming to know nothing about xs. He's also made improvements to the
Apache::SIG module along with writing the valuable Apache::SizeLimit
module.



<DT><A NAME="item_Edmund">Edmund Mergl (E.Mergl@bawue.de)

</A><DD>
Edmund revolutionized database connectivity with his Apache::DBI module for
persistent connections via DBI, providing a tremendous performance boost
for database intensive apps. He's also written the popular
Apache::AuthenDBI and Apache::AuthzDBI packages for authentication and
authorizing against databases via DBI.



<DT><A NAME="item_Eric">Eric Bartley (bartley@pdn.cc.purdue.edu)

25, 1996 to be exact. While next to none of that code is present in the
current mod_perl source, as the embedded model and XS <-> Apache API
interface were changed, it was an important insipirational kick start to
what mod_perl has become today.



Gisle has also contributed to mod_perl's Apache::Constants module, along
with API enhancements and documentation.



<DT><A NAME="item_Ian">Ian Kluft (ikluft@cisco.com)
