Thanks for the reply. Ok, so the times in ms, are how long it takes the initial page to be returned. So in this case, its 213ms (and then the rest of the content is loaded once thats happened). After SSI, it takes 618ms (so its holding back the page load by another 200+ ms)

My config for mod_perl is: 

    PerlRequire /home/user/startup.pl
    PerlModule Apache2::Reload
    PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
    PerlModule Apache2::RequestRec

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/

    <Directory /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin>
            SetHandler perl-script
            PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
            PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
            PerlOptions +SetupEnv
            Options +ExecCGI
    </Directory>

From what I've been reading, it looks like this error:

unknown directive "perl" in parsed doc

...means that the "perl" option isn't enabled at compilation. I've submitted a ticket with our host, to see if they can shed some light on what may need to be tweaked.

Cheers

Andy
