LAMP vs. LAMP Rematch

Two very popular and widely used languages for building dynamic web sites are Perl and PHP. They make up two thirds of the "P" in the Linux Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP) stack. How does their performance, using mod_perl and mod_php, compare for everyday web programming? I attempted to find out.
New in the rematch
In the rematch, I updated the Perl HTML code based on suggestions from comments to the orignal article. It should create a more accurate comparison with PHP. Though the main goal is to compare the performance of mod_perl and mod_php, I added a TCL CGI program to compare against Perl CGI. Finally, the hardware used for testing was significantly faster.
The machine
My new test bed was a DELL PowerEdge 2850 server with the following specifications and software:
3.2 Ghz Intel Xeon
4G RAM
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Apache 2.0.46
MySQL 3.23.58
Perl 5.8.0
PHP 4.3.2
TCL 8.3.5
This system is a monster compared to the 700 Mhz server from the original test. I expected the results to reflect it.

| Progress on Plasma Wayland for 5.13
In February after Plasma 5.12 was released we held a meeting on how we want to improve Wayland support in Plasma 5.13. Since its beta is now less than one month away it is time for a status report on what has been achieved and what we still plan to work on.
Also today started a week-long Plasma Sprint in Berlin, what will hopefully accelerate the Wayland work for 5.13. So in order to kick-start the sprint this is a good opportunity to sum up where we stand now.

First set of Bionic (sort-of) RC images for 18.04.
Adam Conrad of the Ubuntu Release Team is pleased to announce the first
set of Bionic RC images for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Over the next couple of hours, builds for Bionic Final should be added
to the tracker[1] for all flavours. The builds have some intentional
omissions, but please do test them anyway.
Known issues that will be addressed Sunday/Monday:
– Volume label still set to Beta
– base-files still not the final version
– kernel will have (at least) one more revision
Despite the above, please, please, please test your images. Do not
wait for a “final” build to test, as that guarantees your final build
will be broken. We need you testing now, iterating uploads to get
your bugs fixed, filing bugs and escalating where you need help.
Again: DO NOT DELAY, TEST NOW, FIX BUGS, FILE BUGS, ESCALATE FOR HELP.
Happy testing everyone, and here’s hoping we push out another smooth
and stress-free release on Thursday.
… Adam Conrad
