It is just perl and apache. - My bad, I must have misread something somewhere that claimed part of the speed boost was due to caching material.

My settings for apache are as follows (in the apache httpd.conf): 1) I call PerlModule Apache2, instead of using a startup file 2) I specify the use and options of mod-perl through the following: Alias /perl "C:/WebServer/perl/" <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryPrefork Options +ExecCGI PerlOptions +ParseHeaders </Location> The RegistryPrefork is an additionally created script that you mentioned earlier @ http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html#C_Apache__Registry___C_Apache__PerlRun__and_Friends which in turn uses ModPerl::Registry > > The problem is, the last page loaded by either of those scripts is the page > > that will always show up the next time they return. > > Sounds like client-side caching. Take a look at the headers you are > sending. - I'm not sure about this. How would the headers differ from using ActivePerl vs mod_perl? In my main script which does all the link controlling, the only header I specify is the standard Content-type:text/html\n\n. The only exception is when I want the client to create a cookie, whereby I use some external library to handle it. > > Secondly, the links at the top > > to move the user backwards in the photo albums are ignored. > > What do those links do? What happens when you click on them? - They're suppose to help the user go back into previous folders instead of using the browser back button. If it's any help, you can log onto this part of my site and see how the links only move forward, yet not backwards: http://www.nutty.ca/perl/index.cgi?page=photoAlbum You'll see the URL header does get updated, but the page you currently see will not. -- 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
