...or I have to find an efficient solution to the compiler problem.
If parsing the document is slow, then save the results. After you have parsed the document, store the "compiled" version on disk. Next time a request for the same document comes in, look and see if it has changed since the last time you "compiled" it. If it's newer, then recompile (of course) but if nothing has changed then use the pre-compiled version. You should get a good performance boost.
...but only if compilation is actually your performance bottleneck. You could take a look at Devel::NYTProf - a code profiler for perl - and it will help you see what parts of your code are taking longer than other parts. It takes some tinkering to master, but unless you use it (or another good profiler like the venerable Devel::DProf) you might only be guessing about the source of performance issues.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
