Better to ask than to get trashed. Most of the answers you are looking for are in the Perl Camel book and several places on the web. Be sure to look up that information.

Perl handles things like memory rather nicely. To the first part of your question, you are loading a module, and then useing the code a lot. Perl isn't going to load the module over and over again, its going to put it in there at the compile state and use it from there.

Your second question is a good one really and something to think about often when creating aps that will run on the web. Always plan for success, I say, and keep things as small and light as possible. If 2000 users show up and start using your program, then 2000 scripts are being asked to run. Good thing to keep in mind.

There is lots of information on CGI as well. Good luck to you and keep on keeping on.
