mod_perlite leap forward with version 0.10

It's not really news, but I haven't talked about it yet: mod_perlite is now usable! ;-)

For folks who don't know what mod_perlite is, take a look at this article on PerlBuzz. Tu summarize, it's a module which embeds Perl into Apache, much lighter than mod_perl, with less features and with some advantages. It makes Perl usable a-la-PHP.

Before October 10 the module was not really usable because of some serious bugs, which were recently solved. Version 0.10 of mod_perlite can run MovableType, which is a fairly complex piece of software so I guess most CGI scripts are supported as of now.

The project still needs help, and the module needs testing. If you're interested, jump in. The mailing list is plagued by spam these days (maybe because of a configuration mistake), so check out the GitHub page.
