I'm not sure I understand the question. Apache::Registry offers a means to simulate a CGI environment, so that many existing CGI scripts can run unmodified (or with very little modification) under mod_perl, giving a substantial performance boost in most cases. Toolkits like HTML::Mason offer very rich sets of features well beyond the scope of Apache::Registry and shouldn't really be compared with it. > I read: > > http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Apache__Registry_PerlHandler_vs__Custom_PerlHandler > > which shows Apache::Registry is slightly slower (but not by much) than > writing a custom Handler.

The advice I gave about handlers was to someone starting from scratch for whom performance clearly isn't the issue. I wouldn't have given that advice to someone who wants to run hundreds of existing CGI scripts with minimal maintenance issues. I'd probably say now could be a good time to look at the 'strict' pragma and the '-w' switch. > Has someone reinvented Apache::Registry in a way that isn't a horrible hack? Not as far as I'm aware. :) Ged. -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
