Hi Monks, I am new to cgi. I have this perl package that will generate a large amount of information. As such, I was thinking of building two cgi scripts where the first cgi script creates the hash, then data dump this hash into a file, then the second cgi script would read in the hash and do whatever the user wants to view. As such, the user would just view the second cgi script. Do you think this would be helpful? I want this to go as fast as possible. To me, cgi is essentially a script. I think making one cgi script (generate hash and create html) is too much time. Note : the hash generated is HUGE, couple thousand lines. Do you think I shouldn't use perl/cgi?
