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

Greatings Monks,

I am curious if anyone has ever conducted, or knew about, any studies into the efficiencies of SOAP within Perl?

I am currently using SOAP::Lite under a CGI process 

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
within Sun One Web Server. However I understand that I could do away with S1WS and implement the whole system in Perl.

Is one system particularly more efficient than the other?

Thanks!

p.s sorry but Using modperl for this implementation is not an option

    I doubt it. However, it is a well known fact that running a persistent perl interpreter (CGI::Fast, PPerl) is always "faster" than starting a new perl process for every request (which is what cgi does), regardless of whether or not that interpreter is embedded (mod_perl) in a webserver.
