in reply to is precompiling possible / effective?

What do you mean by "precompiling"? If you mean something like using Apache::Registry to load Perl and your program and any modules into memory and then keep them there between requests, then your code can run much faster.

    What i mean is this: doing something to that human-readable .pl file to make it go faster, so perl doesn't have to compile each time a user hits that page with their browser.

    1. is that worth it, and if so,
    2. is there a step-by-step guide to do so?

    (also, will this help server load, since it doesn't have to compile it?)
