Just for the record:
Today I repeated my benchmark, adding another competitor, a "real" PerlHandler script. (I simply took the 'clean' Apache::Registry script and wrapped it inside a proper Apache handler() sub.) These are the results:
Requests per second | |
Perl script under Apache::Registry (using CGI.pm) |
30 |
PHP script | 55 |
Apache::Registry script, without CGI.pm |
62 |
Apache handler | 69 |
So if you want real performance and you ask me, the answer is clear: take mod_perl and use what it already has (and it really has a lot).
