http://jerakeen.org/code/mod_tt/ describes the module as 'a very early
development version,' which certainly means I cannot use it in
production.=20

It still looks interesting to me: TT2 was alpha once too, I suppose. But
how is mod_tt implimented? Does it require mod_perl or just perl? What
are the benchmarks against a more standard TT implementation? Doesn't TT
have caching support?=20

If I wrote a HOWTO on TT/mod_perl installation, would that remove the
need for mod_tt?
