* Troy Johnson <Troy.A.Johnson at state.mn.us> [010529 17:51]: > Regular Perl CGI programs are spawned by a web server for every request made of them, and so have a Perl interpreter startup cost and memory usage in addition to that of the web server (httpd). Mod_perl makes the Perl interpreter part of the httpd itself, so that startup costs are negated and memory usage is less (compared to the full blown interpreter), but it also beefs up _every_ httpd (could be compiled in or dynamically loaded, but the effect is the same). Not a huge deal if you only server dynamic content, but a waste if you serve up lots of images or static pages and only a few dynamic pages. Wrap at 72 next time. Also, theres Mason, a apache module that does perl more like php afaik. -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net So little time, so little to do. -- Oscar Levant -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
