Embedded perl for nginx official release?

Server NGINX
1

Hi all,

I am searching for information about the embedded perl Nginx roadmap…

Is it planned to replace standard nginx by this one ? Or to integrate
embedded perl into nginx official release ? Or maybe the two projects
are too divergent ?

Thank you in advance for helping.

There was a thread about it:

Thank you Valentin,

If I understand well, this is the message at the origin of the embedded
perl Nginx ?

My question was more actual : now that there is a fork, is there a plan
to inject embedded perl in the standard nginx ?
Do somebody know anything about the position of the developpers now ?

I am curious about the perenity and roadmap of each project concerning
perl support.

Thank you in advance,

David

The embedded perl module (see [1]) is available in nginx since its
introduction in nginx 0.3.21 and works fine.

An attempt of Alexandr G. to add various features to the
embedded perl module had major problems from our (nginx team)
point of view, see the thread linked by Valentin. Instead of
trying to understand and fix the problems pointed out, Alexandr
chose to maintain his own fork. As far as I understand, the fork
is mostly dead now.
