my urge to have a centralized structure is probably my biggest downfall

It seems to me that you know what your problem is, but just don't want to admit it (to yourself) :)

Vis.

I have 4 name spaces: main - the main namespace which calls the other namespaces and handles outputting of data from common(headers) and frame(html). common - stores all the basic stuff like opening files, accessing database and etc. it also loads query strings and headers. frame - loads the html, the advanced functions like login account and etc which is made up of calling the common. After loading HTML it loads the Skin namespace on the loaded html. Skin - loads the layout, all the images, textboxes, forms, assigns ids and other more advanced objects.

You're replicating everything, for every request. And hoping that mod_perl/perlez will take care of things. I think you are expecting far too much of them.

When I said earlier that I know nowt about them, I meant that I know nothing about tuning them. I do know what they do, but have never had the desire to use them. They seem altogether too hackish to me.

I've no use for Apache either. For example, you said in your OP that your memory consumption is approaching 1.7GB. In that same space I can install 3500 concurrent copies of TinyWeb, each capacble of servicing dozens of concurrent requests.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
