This is usually the point where performance hits the deck and Perl goes by the board. It's very nice indeed for hello-world sites with only a few thousand rows, but deployment rapidly brings with it 100,000 rows, and suddenly this package which we all tested so thoroughly falls on its arse. I'm sure we've all met this before somewhere in a profiler. S. -- Shevek http://www.anarres.org/ I am the Borg. http://www.gothnicity.org/
