I've installed the mod_perl.c module on an apache 1.3.6 rh6.2 box. I added the Location tag in my httpd.conf file. From the looks of eveything mod_perl is installed and in the game. My httpd.conf file has the following. 

# If the perl module is installed, this will be enabled.
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
  Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
  <Location /perl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
  </Location>
</IfModule>

I duplicated the following script in order to test the mod_perl for speed. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$|=1;
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use Time::HiRes;
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "\n\n<pre>";
print Time::HiRes::time()."\n";
my $cd;my $z;
my $st = Time::HiRes::time();
for($z=0; $z < 10;$z++){
my $ast = Time::HiRes::time();
my $get = get "http://www.perl.to/index.cgi?a=".$z;
my $aed = Time::HiRes::time();
print "$z(".($aed-$ast).")\n";
}
print "$cd\n";
my $ed = Time::HiRes::time();
print "took=".($ed-$st)."</pre>";

One copy of the script above went in my mod_perl folder (/home/httpd/perl/). It ran from a web browser. mod_perl ON
The other went to a Virtual Domain folder on the same server. It can be seen at. mod_perl OFF Both scripts work. My error_logs are quiet when i test them. My question is, why isn't my mod_perl faster?
Does anyone know of a way to verify, within a perl script, the status of mod_perl? I notice that the Content-type header is visible in the mod_perl test from the browser. Doesn't that tell me it's working?

P.S. perl -v = version 5.005_03

In reply to mod_perl installed but not faster by true
