in thread the sands of time(in search of an optimisation)

If Perl is your problem and why you're moving to forking, why on earth would you do said forking with a massively-large Perl framework vs. a lightweight wrapper around fork?

Also, moritz has a good point - have you determined if you're CPU-bound or I/O-bound? Forking or rewriting in C isn't going to help if your disk is pegged.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
