Hi All I am coding a web application using lots of Perl modules including Class::DBI, Text::MagicTemplate, CGI::Session and CGI::Application via ActivePerl v5.8.1.807. My code has to run on both Win2K and WinXP together with Apache v2.0.48 and mysql. All my responses are generated via Text::MagicTemplate rather than CGI functions. However response times are becoming too long, so I would like to use mod_perl to improve them. I have no prior experience with mod_perl or a C compiler.
I have been reading some of the online documentation, but I am still not sure about what is available or is possible. So... Should I use mod_perl v1 or v2? I was thinking of using Apache::Request to process form data, Apache::Cookie, Apache::DBI for persistent db connections and something for user authorization. I understand libapreq contains the first two modules. Is this available for mod_perl2? BTW I put all the perl modules that my application uses (except my own) in a startup.pl file and added a PerlRequire directive to httpd.conf. This increased instances of Apache.exe from about 4 - 8 MB to about 23 - 26 MB! Is this normal?
