Advice needed. (web app. performance)

[Vladislav Safronov]

Hi,

I've just finished a simple web based spellcheck application
based on ispell, it's written as perl module which just call
ispell on every request (actually keeps it open afert first request).
The bad thing is N users used spellcheck there are N running
useless ispells and it is not good I think. 

I think as sort of spellcheck server should be written which can fork
accordingly to user requests. 

Where can I find sample code (skeleton code) for such server?
Would you recommend any other method?

Thanx,

\Vlad.
