Apache's mod_perl makes Perl applications run much faster and scale well to heavy usage. Using Kwiki with mod_perl is a piece of cake.
First you need is an Apache server built with mod_perl support. See http://perl.apache.org for more information.
Then install a Kwiki site following the normal KwikiInstallation procedures.
Finally add something like this to your Apache configuration:
Alias /kwiki/ /home/ingy/kwiki/
<Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
Options None
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler CGI::Kwiki
</Directory>
<Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/css/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
Options None
SetHandler none
</Directory>
<Directory /home/ingy/kwiki/javascript/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
Options None
SetHandler none
</Directory>
That's it! You'll get an instant *performance boost*.
You can switch from the standard CGI installation to mod_perl anytime you want.
