thank you for your response. Ive been told by others that ActivePerl's ISAPI extension is my best bet. Maybe Im just inexperienced and uneducated with web server technology. But seems like 4 AMD 64 chips is alot to have to meet those requests. I was think no more then 2 AMD chips ( and not 64 ) with 2GB of ram and a few SCSI OR SATA drives. But Im no system engineer either. Thaks for your reply. I asked the terminate questio because Ive seen snippets implying that perl processes may "hang around" longer then they should.
