>From the perldocs: This module's handler emulates the CGI environment, allowing programmers to write scripts that run under CGI or mod_perl without change. Unlike Apache::Registry, the Apache::PerlRun handler does not cache the script inside of a subroutine. Scripts will be "compiled" every request. After the script has run, it's namespace is flushed of all variables and subroutines.
The Apache::Registry handler is much faster than Apache::PerlRun. However, Apache::PerlRun is much faster than CGI as the fork is still avoided and scripts can use modules which have been pre-loaded at server startup time. This module is meant for "Dirty" CGI Perl scripts which relied on the single request lifetime of CGI and cannot run under Apache::Registry without cleanup. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 7:49 AM Subject: Re: how to disable mod_perl in a subdir? > the host has that commented out for some reason: > Alias /cgi-bin/ /home/seniordiscounts/cgi-bin/ > <Location /cgi-bin> > SetHandler perl-script > #PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun > PerlHandler Apache::Registry > Options +ExecCGI > </Location> > > please explain how PerlRun might be better? > ------------------- > > Marc Slagle wrote: > > > > Maybe you can try Apache::PerlRun instead of Apache::Registry for the > > directories that you need to run those scripts.
