I recently helped a collegue to get a cgi program running under apache using standard perl on OSX -- I found that the perl distribution that comes with OSX is the original 5.6 rather than more up to date versions AND that the application, which runs on an aging 486 with 64 megs in our shop and uses about 4 megs including mod_perl enhanced apache, took 40 megs on OSX and was very slow. This was on a G4 with 500 megs of memory. Michael
