Consider this code;


 use LWP::Simple;


fork();   #2
fork();   #4
fork();   #8
fork();   #16
fork();   #32
fork();   #64
fork();   #128

for (1..1000)
   {
    $content = get("http://www.__YOURDOMAIN__.com");
    print "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;
   }

The above code spawns 128 workers, which then download pages back to back as fast as they can from the specified domain.

Running on a $20 a month basic slice server, the old aXML system would run into troubles with 8 workers, and pretty much grind to a halt under the load of 16 workers.

Using PSGI/Plack, the new version using a very similar but optimised algorithm can handle the full 128 worker load without grinding to a halt. It does slow it down a bit, but what do you want from a $20 a month server?

Miyagawa is an absolute genius, and you would be doing yourself a huge favour to get to know his work inside and out. Sure he's "reinvented" a wheel, but WOW his new wheel is frak-frikken-tastic.

Warning: DO NOT USE THIS ON ANYONE ELSES SERVER... unless your absolutely ready to answer to a court of law for your actions.
