I am looking to set up a mod_perl handler which keep track of the

child will not have to hit a database for every request.
Hi Jeff,
we usually do that with a local memcached server and
counters (Cache::Memcached::inc() function).
I'm looking into using Cache::FastMmap as an alternative.
I'm not sure about the volume of requests you have,
but using memcached, we got as far as 500 req/s
without any problem or slowdown at all.
