Migrating MT
April 21st, 2004 • MoveableType
This time, I’m moving to mod_perl for sure.
First, because I just can’t stand having a /cgi-bin at the end of every program’s URL, one thing I like about PHP is the ability to have friendly links in a URL, now with mod_perl that’s possible with Perl scripts. Second, because mod_perl is much faster than CGI, it takes way too much time to fork a script into memory.
Luckily, MoveableType can run under mod_perl without problems (apparently), so now I can have a /search, /trackback, /etc. URLS, much cleaner than /cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/entry-id.
Can’t wait to be done with the site redesign, hopefully then I can move permanently to mod_perl
