in reply to What is mod_perlite?

I have to agree with perrin. They have removed the need for a new process, OK, but they are initializing a new Perl interpreter for each request, which means that they have to initialize anything they need in Perl. This is entirely inappropriate for a busy website.

In short their solution is like Apache::PerlRun, only worse.
