I'm currently using Perlscript/ASP over NT and MS IIS. My site is heavily dependant on static data that I fetch from SQL tables with DBI on a module that I call Globals.pm. My problem is that every time I include Globals.pm on my ASPs, perlscript will fetch and execute it again (along with the perl interpreter). I was assuming this would not happen because of my mod_perl background (which IS a complete solution). Needless to say this is very inefficient and makes my pages slow. I want to know if there's a way of avoiding this with any opensource product, and if anybody who has had experience with ActiveState's PerlEX can comment on its workings and the speed improvements it allows.
