"If you were using a server environment with some persistence for Perl processes (e.g. mod_perl) instead of CGI, then this would be somewhat easier."

I would be interested in what you have to say about using 'mod_perl':
Ive toyed with different programing languages (both interpreted and complied), but dont have a strong backround with apache.

Heres alittle more info about my server. When the time comes i need something or try something new, i enable it - dont know if this is alitle/too much info or not enough.

This is all for a local server, security is not a big issue (server is not open to public), but i would like to practice safty.

Thanks again all.
