If you have a mail server doing program delivery to a few perl
scripts a lot, what can be done to optimize this?
I'm already planning on replacing sendmail with postfix.
And another idea would be just to have a very lightweight
process (such as a compiled c program) that just cats the mail
into a directory and a perl daemon that does its magic on the
contents of the directory, but this requires more reprogramming
than I have time or inclination to do right now.
Obviously in the HTTP world we have mod_perl, a mail server
equivalent of this with could be very nice (with persistent DBI
connections???).
Another thing that I noticed is that Activestate do a product
that hooks perl in tightly with sendmail, although I'm not sure
it is quite what I want.
