Apache::Registry is essentially just to get you going with mod_perl and your old CGI scripts. See for example mod_perl_traps.pod which deals with some of the 'gotchas' that you can run into. You can make better use of the Perl API using handlers. (Of course you might not need to.:) > Is there a performance penalty for using it? Handlers can be faster, yes, but since you get such a big performance boost from mod_perl to begin with it's not usually serious. Read the the Eagle Book, the mod_perl Guide and the mod_perl CookBook. (That will take you most of the rest of the year...:) The details are on the mod_perl home page. 73, Ged.
