If you require those scripts from more than one main-script under mod_perl,then it should affect the performance. Because each main-script load those scripts independently,then there are multi-copies of those scripts in each apache's process space,it distinctly waste the memory. It's good to define the scripts needed to be loaded as classes and access their methods by OO way. -- Books below translated by me to Chinese.
