Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a very simple HTTP server for my own client. I tried the example provided. Unfortunately, it is still leaking as bad as 100 megabytes for 100-200 requests. It's also very slow processing requests even when it returns the very same file every time. I'm stuck. Please help! Any ideas what to change?

I'm trying to run it on Windows and FreeBSD. On Windows platform it has a bug described here HTTP::Daemon not working in threads? regarding stuck threads.

I'm using apache2(worker-mpm)/mod_perl2/perl(threads) right now to run my server-side script. Its performance is not what I expect even after numerous optimizations. That's why I was trying to implement a simple server to process these requests. But right now it's 10(ten) times slower than the current system.

Thank you!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
