Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C shows how to extend the capabilities of the Apache web server. It explains the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API, then demonstrates how to use them for:

• Rewriting CGI scripts as Apache modules to vastly improve performance
• Server-side filtering of HTML documents to embed special markup or code (much like SSI)
• Enhancing server log functionality
• Converting file formats on the fly
• Implementing dynamic navigation bars
• Incorporating database access into CGI scripts
• Customizing access control and authorization to block robots or to use an external database for passwords

Lincoln Stein is the successful author of How to Set Up and Maintain a World Wide web Site and the developer of the widely used Perl CGI.pm module. Doug MacEachern is a consultant and the creator of the innovative mod_perl Apache module.
