I've written mod_perl handlers for a few different phases, but I've never really worried about speed increases for plain content. I recently migrated from a cgi script in my cgi-bin that handles content to a Apache::Registry script that does the same thing. On my puny 150MHz Pentium, 96MBytes RAM machine, I was getting about 4.5 requests answered per second with a normal cgi script. After moving it to Apache::Registry and moving into the /perl/ directory, I can easily get 13-18 requests answered per second. That isn't too bad. Once I get this translated into a complete mod_perl handler, I will probably see an enormous increase. Thanks for listening. Jon -- J. J. Horner [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The people who vote decide nothing.
