Still I have many "scripts" that run under Apache::Registry. Not exactly sure how to preload these scripts. I have the following directive -------------------- PerlTaintCheck On <IfModule mod_perl.c> <Location /> # PerlSetVar PerlRunOnce On SetHandler perl-script PerlRequire /home/apache/modperl/startup.pl PerlHandler Apache::Registry # PerlSendHeader On Options +ExecCGI </Location> </IfModule> ------------ Note: this is a dedicated mod_perl server and I'm not serving any static pages. ----- Document root / contains 100 perl scripts. I preload 40 modules (of which 29 is my own custom modules) in startup.pl as explained in your guide. So I guess I don't understand what you mean by preloading "scripts". One of the reasons I like having 100 scripts in document root with Apache::Registry is that I can modify them at any time and I don't have restart the server. This is also one of the reasons I don't bother with the "real" handler. Thanks
