I bought wwwthreads when it was still wwwthreads and a key factor was it did not need PHP support. We have a great virtual server deal that no one else can match (good performance 500 MB of disk space, 100 GB transfer monthly, load averages consistently below 1 and just $130 a month - all this to avoid the suggestions to move when I get to the next part). We have been with them for 2 years and push our 100 GB on a regular basis. However they only have support for an older PHP build installed that at best is not optimum for running newer PHP software.
Now I learn that Infopop has in their infinate wisdom dropped support for the very feature that made me buy the software. I am hoping I don't have to convert yet again but I do have the option to head over to Gossamer Theads and switch since they do support Perl in their latest and greatest versions (which as some know was designed to replace their wwwthreads licenced product). Anyway, I have been more than happy with wwwthreads BUT our users want things like auto URL parsing and I want continued code optimization so I am not happy to sit on 5.4.x
I have sent a couple of emails on this same issue but I want to make sure it's out very clearly that as a result of Infopop buying out wwwthreads, perl users appear to get the short end of the stick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
