deprecated has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This is a very _old_ server, and it literally takes 21% of the cpu to launch this cgi. It takes a few (maybe 5) seconds to actually display to the browser. However, it takes less than one second if i rename 'index.cgi' to 'index.pl'. As I understand it, this is mod_perl working for me. Now, a friend told me I could use Apache::Registry to 'cache' the file in the server so that it would not have to re-read it every time (the pod seems to agree with this). So I tossed a use Apache::Registry in there, and let 'er rip.
First, the page displays right the first and only time I load it. then after that, it just spits out the source. If add '.pl' to the "add handler" section of the config file (after .cgi), it seems that mod_perl does not get to process it, and it reverts to being slow.
I do in fact have the
directive in the config file. I suspect that it may have something to do with:<IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.shtml index.c +gi index.pl index.htm Default.htm default.htm </IfModule>
and the caching of browsers and the like. Has anyone seen behaviour like this out of mod_perl? I'm rather new to it.q(<meta http-equiv="refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=http://envy.posixnap.net +/">),
Thanks,
brother dep.
