How would i 'cache database queries' or 'maintain an open pool of queries'? Note that everything i do must be able to be done from the perl script itself. Which means no special tweaking of apache, and cant rely on mod_perl.

The E-toys article was interesting and fairly informative, but unfortunately in this context i dont have dedicated apache servers or db servers n so forth, im just stuck with perl =o

Back to my basic idea of caching (unless someone gives me a detailed explination of cache::cache), was my script would, on receiving a request for a particular thread, check the cache dir, see if a html file matching all the criteria (not changed since generated and so forth), then just print a header-redirect: to the file, or if it didnt, generate the html file and then print a header-redirect. Is this a fairly reasonable approach? Good? Bad? Ugly?
