Re: Re: Re: Re: Embedded linux loading modules slowly.

Actually, it is just any module. I made one with 3 simple functions that do some basic math calculations. It still took as long as a more complicated module.

I then tested my .pl file by writing those functions in the script itself, without using the module, and the page came up more or less instantly.

As you can see, I'm quite stumped.

Very interesting - The first question which comes to my mind at this point is about the storage device employed for the embedded system. What are the characteristics of this device? Are the speed issues which you are experiencing related to access to this device, either at a interface or physical level? Another approach may be to consider incorporating the module code directly into your Perl script. `perl -le "print+unpack'N',pack'B32','00000000000000000000001010011100'"`	[reply]

Thanks for your input everyone, but due to other restrictions and other factors, the embedded system is gonna be upgraded to something more powerful, so this may no longer be a problem. Until I get my hands on the box, I won't know, but again, thanks for your help! Cheers!	[reply]

Could you try also loading an external file with "require" as opposed to "use", to confirm that the problem is with loading the module from disk rather than with importing it?	[reply]
