Re^2: CGI modules?

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll go for CGI::Lite. But assuming the server does have mod_perl, is Apache::Request any faster?

BTW, I'm making a web app and I'm trying to make it somewhat portable. So I might still end up using CGI.pm, or even worse, writing it in PHP.

Well, mod_perl is a lot faster because you don't have to start perl over and over again. If you decide to use mod_perl later, options such as PerlRun will still make your scripts pretty quick without having to change anything. -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply]

Hi, I was wondering here about other persistent options which use some external process which is started once only (the RPC idea all again...); pperl is one interesting possibility, but it does not build on HP-UX for example (I hope to make it work by changing the fd passing code)... so I am afraid pperl is not a portable solution. Are there any matures ones?	[reply]

How about FastCGI? I'm not sure if it will work on HP-UX - being a Windows user I ussualy just download the binary ... Have you tried freelancing? Check out Scriptlance - I work there.	[reply]
