RE: RE: RE: ePerl, just say

Ahh, okey... I see. I must agree, Ralf hasn't been updating it "recently". In fact, it won't compile out of the box on Perl 5.6.0, but there's a rather quick fix to that.

You mention it can be slow... Are we talking like big, big sites here, or what? I use it for some "webified" system administration only, so...

BUT if there are security issues, maybe I'm better off looking elsewhere for my perl-in-html embedding. I'll have to look closer into this... Thanks for the info!

Off the top of my head I can't recall any real security issues. In fact, I gutted the bastard and put in my own security, which was secure :) So, I don't recall if I found any. And yes, I am talking a large site with a few million hits/day handling a few hundred thousand Db queries per hour. I think whenever I fixed what was wrong with the caching, it sped up. I wish I could remember the details, but I seem to have blocked it from my memory. Still, try Mason or something that you could actually reuse for a larger app later on.. since using ePerl would be silly. Cheers, KM	[reply]
