Hi, I use mod_perl on http://www.a-blast.org/ and want to suggest it for http://perl.apache.org/sites.html It is a "truly interactive text network", written completely in mod_perl. For a quick, non-technical overview have a look on http://www.assoziations-blaster.de/prixars/ (its in english on our old domain). About one year ago, it runs on M$ IIS with ActivePerl and some PHP, in the meantime it is completely rewritten as Apache module, using MySQL as database. With this, I speed up the execution time from ~3 Seconds to ~10 milliseconds for each Blast-Page (OK, OK, the old machine had a very worst hardware, now we use only a semi-worst one: Pentium II 350, 320 MB RAM with Soft-RAID 0 under Linux). The blast_engine includes the links into the texts in realtime, also the statistics are created in realtime: http://www.a-blast.org/statistics/ http://www.assoziations-blaster.de/statistik/ (german, with much more traffic) The blaster uses the speed benefit of keeping the complete keyword list in memory (more then 5 MB for the german version), for the non-linear real-time linker I use a ~50 line regexp .-) The HTML-Files are compressed on-the-fly with Compress::Zlib, so we keep bandwidth (and transmission time to the users) small. so, hmmm, if you have any (technical?) questions, feel free to ask ;) The german version has about 5000 visitors and 20000 page views per day, which is very good for a non-profit net.art project in germany.
