mod_caml is a set of Objective CAML (OCaml) bindings for the Apache API. It allows you to run CGI scripts written in OCaml directly inside the Apache webserver. However, it is much much more than just that:
Please see Apache 2.0 notes if you intend to use mod_caml with Apache 2.0.

mod_caml is used to run a large number of community sites and websites. For a couple of these sites, Merjis has made available source code. This source code makes an excellent reference for how to do the harder things, such as user authentication, virtual hosting and persistent database connections.
This website building software is written in OCaml and uses mod_caml. The source code is available for download under the GNU GPL. We have also written some extensive developer documentation and coding standards which should help you getting started understanding the code.
J-London is a community site for Japanese people living in London. Partial source code is available here.
The latest stable version is available from this savannah download page.
If you want bleeding-edge releases (which, despite their name, are usually very stable too), please use the version in CVS. You can find instructions for accessing the CVS version here.
There is a mailing list for mod_caml and COCANWIKI discussions, here:
