Re^3: Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.

In your OP you said "As this script is going to be hit so many times by the webserver, I wondered if anyone had ideas on speeding it up?"

So if that is no longer perceived to be the case, I guess we can close this issue now?

Apologies for not being clear. Apache opens the script and holds it open for its lifetime. `RewriteMap` writes to it (hence the `while(<STDIN>){..}` loop) and waits for output from STDOUT. For every such mapping (read: every http request), the `lookup` method is called. I assumed that that is where the main speed up could be attained. Although I'm not sure how moot this is with merlyn's reply in play -=( Graq )=-	[reply] [d/l] [select]
