[..]Maybe this is just my inexperience showing here, but I was under the impression that when you attached a module (i.e. use CGI.pm), it was compiled with the rest of your script. If this is incorrect?
Yes, and sorta.
Those parts of the module that are going to be 'pre-loaded' will get compiled in the first time the code starts up. Then one gets into that part of the process where there are AutoLoad and/or DynaLoad elements, these will get 'compiled on the fly' the first time they are 'thunked', and will be available after that.
So a part of the question is 'which resources' are you trying to presever in the process, I may be missing that in all of this...
CGI.pm has perchance the most complex of the autoloading/importing strategies in the whole perl distributions. It is part black majik.
