I generate my Javascript on the fly, it can be different on every
request.
I find this very useful...

Maybe I wasn't really very clear. I don't think 'minifing' your JS/

every time it's requested is very useful. You should either
preprocess it
and then install it on the webserver (in which case you would not
need a
mod_perl module) OR you could use a mod_perl module that minifies
the JS/CSS code
if it changes, caching the result to use for subsequent requests.
It seems like
a bit waste of cycles to minify every time the file is requested,
and worrying
about the speed of minification seems unnecessary.

Subject: Re: ANNOUNCE: XS-based minifiers for JS/CSS
If you'll pardon the devil's advocate bit...
Caching isn't really the issue - you can use mod_cache, or make
your own
using CSS::Minifier. I think Bjorn was questioning the
Apache2::Filter::Minifier:: approach.
Here's a different take on Apache2::Filter::Minifier. I run a
small web
dev shop, I code perl and manage the servers, and I have a small
team of
web developers who make works of art using JS and CSS. I have a few
hundred man-hours* per month for development. We're talking about
simply deploying a module to speed up some sites, without it using up
many man-hours. Thanks, Community!** This helps me proudly tell my
customers about mod_perl, and in will help my business get to the
point
where we can contribute code and ideas back to the community.
* woman-hours too, of course, but it's still all blokes here
** Community as in Graham, Geoffrey and co
