the files i need to parse are usually in size of 2M -
10M. will the mod_perl server(2G Mem) use up the
memory pretty quick after few hundred requests on
different files?
the app currently run under plain cgi. i am using
CGI::Application. the simplified code as following:
package My::App;
sub table {
my $data_ref = My::Parser->parse( $file_to_parse );
return $tt->process('table.tt', { data => $data } );
}
#####
package My::Parser;
....
sub parse {
my ($class,$file) = @_;
my @data;
open my $F, $file or die $!;
while ( my $line = <$F> ) {
my @fields = split /=/, $line;
push @data, [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
close $F;
return [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
i think i need to re-read CGI to mod_perl Porting doc.
in some case, i still unsure if the variable is gone
as i think it is.

never mind. i read the doc wrong.
