Normally it's recompiled every time. The only exception is when ur running mod_perl under a web server. Mod_perl keeps the image in memory and reuses it. Not only that it saves the complete state information! U can save and reuse variables between script calls. If u had a script under mod_perl that was just "$i++ and print $i;", every time u clicked refresh the number would go up. I've used this "feature" to save significant data (pulling a tftp file) between invocations. That makes u be very careful about declaring all ur variables properly with my. The first time I used mod_perl I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why the script was seeing old data :)
