interesting. How big are those graphics. We had to pull modperl from service at about.com because of the ram foot print and the contact limitations, even with semiphores pulled way up. If your producing images like gnuplot, then your approach has many advantages, not the least of which is flexibility. If your doing something like my images gallery, it would be less efficient, although I still run it under modperl in the hopes that I'm caching a good percentage of my images in the apache server. Regardless, the point that you made that I felt was condensing and inaccurate was the efficiency of CGI.pm was superior, and that embedded coding was inefficient and disorganized. I can go straight to the Lincoln Stein book and quote his opinions on CGI.pm's bloat. No matter what you are using, your making some templates and reoccurring HTML. Or maybe not, maybe each of your pages are unique, completely. OK with that o/o.
