Get the fastcgi module. It works on almost any script. It compiles the script once, and keeps a copy in memory. You can set different configurations for different scripts(like how many spare copies to keep). Some can be fastcgi, and others not. Some can be dynamic(fresh cgi for each call) or static(reuse same cgi, with problems of variables overlapping). It's alot easier to use than mod_perl. If you need a similar function, but not cgi, try the PersistentPerl module. It does similar things, but on plain perl scripts run locally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
