Erg. CGI.pm is a terrible idea--runtime string eval and all that silliness. Please investigate one of the lighter Plack/PSGI frameworks like Dancer and Web::Simple. Really, mod_perl is the wrong tool for the job here. It's for writing Apache modules with Perl. This means things like altering request flow, authentication, and the like--not Web apps. -- Chris Nehren | Coder, Sysadmin, Masochist Shadowcat Systems Ltd. | http://shadowcat.co.uk/
