Yes, use CGI;. I did not, since I ripped that line out of my Mapster program, and edited it a bit.

Mapster doesn't use CGI; because the server is extremely loaded, and it doesn't use mod_perl or anything. I tested on my machine, and it took about a second to load Perl plus the CGI module, and Mapster doesn't actually need to do much decoding with the parameters, so I decided to leave it out.

    It sounds like you are running it as a CGI program rather than mod_perl because you have the impression that this is more efficient.

    I hope I am seriously misunderstanding you because the entire point of mod_perl is that it is a lot faster than raw CGI.
