Re: Perl 5.6.0 on MIPS (R4K)

Well, I don't know why Perl is starting so slow, but for your CGI scripts there is a solution.
Or infact, there may be several:

1. use mod_perl, this way perl is running inside of apache, well sort of.
2. use fastcgi.
and perhaps several more.

The only problem with that, is that mod_perl is a memory hog, yes? ( I don't have vast amounts of experience with mod_perl, just a little )... and this little beast only has 48MB at the moment, up to a maximum of 64... I've thought about it, but it just didn't seem like a good idea (correct me if I'm wrong here of course, that's not uncommon :))... And I will look more at fastcgi, but it seems to me if perl is taking forever to load, then fastcgi may or may not help (?)
