I had fears about that one, since I thought Perl might not mean mod_perl - as I know mod_perl is rather cosy with Apache (that's the whole point). With the functionality I had in mind it'd take too long to compile them on the fly. Seemingly I can do Apache handlers though, so I *might* be okay. Looks like I may have to run it off my friends ADSL connection, as I'm stuck in 56k hell. That adds nice domain redirection and uptime problems (of ADSL) to my life ;-) > > 6.

My developers? - What's a developer? :P The best I've got are inexperienced amatures with relevatively little coding experience with Perl. Tough challenge eh? With some determination we'll get it finished by Christmas (not this year :P ) I rather ambigously asked the question: How many milliseconds might this stage take, on a commerial hosting company's servers. Suppose without mod_perl this would be at least 300ms, or probably worse. > > Ged Haywood wrote: > > I am trying to create a website [snip] > > NB - Whilst my preferred answer to these questions is a > > coded solution, [snip] > > We like people to think for themselves on this list. :) Okay, I forgot the smiley on that. I don't really expect anyone to code it for me, that's asking too much... unless people are willing to share what they've already done. I'd owe someone too many brownie points if they coded it for me. The "Background" was there for interest really, and to suggest what I'm trying to do. Please don't flame me, I'll go away... honest :P Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
