Re: mod_perl: Is it so necessary?

You wrote: I wonder how many of my scripts I will have to re-write.
you can run your cgi scripts under Apache::Registry without changes
taking advandage of persistent DB connections, fast startup etc. (whell, if the script run clean under "use strict" then it will do also under Apache::Registry...)

See the relevant section in the mod_perl guide. You might also look at Training wheels again why it is better to rewrite CGI scripts to modperl apps. The mod_perl guide has a nice section about tuning, too.	[reply]
