Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear monks
I'm currently building website using CGI::Lite
But it's still slow because of compilation time
uWSGI needs to compile the perl script everytime when a user login, logout, search, create post ...etc
I tried PPerl but the site malfunctioned (sometimes worked sometimes page not found)
I can't even install CGI::SpeedyCGI, PersistentPerl
I spend two days googling around and I don't know what to do
What software or perl module can solve this?

    Just to state more firmly what the previous reply implied. uWSGI absolutely does not need to recompile the script on each load; check the docs, as linked, and look for blog posts or example apps on github with deployment descriptions. There are plenty of options that don’t but I won’t mention them because I think uWSGI is better, by quite a lot, than the rest of the current crop.

    I always start my websites with Dancer2. Why? Because it provides virtually all the things i'll need later, like session handling. Consider the following: 

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
package App;
use Dancer2;

set session => 'YAML';

get '/' => sub {
    my $value = session( 'some.var' ) || 0;
    $value++;
    session 'some.var' => $value;
    return "The current value is $value";
};

start;

    The docs contain a complete working example for handling the logging in and out of user sessions as well: https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer2::Manual#Sessions-and-logging-in
