How much? I've run mod_perl comfortably on machines that look pretty small by today's standards. > My questions: is there a way to run mod_perl/my_module on an HTTP > server/reverse proxy other than apache ? > If so, what kind of HTTP server/reverse proxy ? Apache is a fast, small, and efficient HTTP server. It can run in tiny amounts of RAM. Your problem here is Perl, which, like most high-level languages, uses a lot of memory. If you have to work in a really tight space, I'd suggest rewriting your module as an apache module in C. - Perrin
