* Simon Cozens releases a document:
Ten Perl Myths
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/01/10PerlMyths.html

which is somewhat similar to the one written by Adam Pisoni
Popular Perl Complaints and Myths
http://perl.apache.org/perl_myth.html

* February netcraft survey : http://www.netcraft.com/survey/
(58% -- a rise from 5.5M to 6.4M servers relative to January)

Apache hit a new high this month, with some 58% of the internet's web
sites now running on Apache. Part of the gain came from Planet
(http://www.theplanet.net) moving to Apache/1.3.11 from a locally modified
and rebranded earlier version of Apache with a customised server
signature. Planet hosts well over 100,000 sites including the UK's largest
dialup ISP, Freeserve. The Apache conference is to be held early next
month in Florida from 8-10th March.

(and M$ goes down to ~22% :)

there are no reports yet about mod_perl stats, I still didn't figure out
how to find them myself at their site :(

* A bunch of Persistent:: modules have been released to CPAN, anyone has
experience with these? Notice the Persistent::DBI... how similar it to
Apache::DBI?

Module Persistent::Base
Module Persistent::DBI
Module Persistent::DBM
Module Persistent::DataType::Base
Module Persistent::DataType::Char
Module Persistent::DataType::DateTime
Module Persistent::DataType::Number
Module Persistent::DataType::String
Module Persistent::DataType::VarChar
Module Persistent::File
Module Persistent::LDAP
Module Persistent::Memory
Module Persistent::MySQL
Module Persistent::Oracle
Module Persistent::Sybase
Module Persistent::mSQL

Enjoy!

I was curious to know which servers were in use by the 50
highest-traffic sites (according to Media Metrix as of last
12Feb2000). I thought some of you might find it interesting...

Apache: 16/50 (32%)
Netscape: 16/50 (32%)
Microsoft: 10/50 (20%)
Unknown: 4/50 ( 8%)
Others: 4/50 ( 8%)

Interestingly, I had just read this article when I saw that:

http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,2377716,00.html

Says real.com runs Roxen. Why do they want to hide that? And refer to
it as an "operating system"? Which apparently is Linux, in this case.
