Have you posted on the modperl list?

Alfred,
---- Hi all,
I have tried testing mod_perl with the following script:
my $begin = (times)[0]; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
sub fib { $_[0] < 2 ? return $_[0] : return fib($_[0] - 1) + fib($_[0] - 2); }
$f = fib(29); my $end = (times)[0]; print($end - $begin);

Well, if I run this script as a common CGI application, it usually runs faster with 10% than if I run it using mod_perl. (Under Windows 2000, mod_perl 2 with Active Perl 5.8.4).
I know that the advantage of mod_perl is that it doesn't require time for creating a new process and for the example above the time needed for starting the process is much lower than for running the entire program, but does this mean that mod_perl doesn't lose the time for starting a new process, but it executes the program slower? Or why does the program runs slower with mod_perl?
I have also tried to put a: PerlRequire f:/web/presafierbinte/perl/benchmark.pl
In the corresponding virtualhost section in httpd.conf, in order to preload this program at the server start, but it didn't change anything.
Thank you.
Teddy
