Just for the record:
Today I repeated my benchmark, adding another competitor,
a "real" PerlHandler script. (I simply took the 'clean'
Apache::Registry script and wrapped it inside a proper
Apache handler() sub.) These are the results:
| |
Requests per second |
Perl script under Apache::Registry
(using CGI.pm) |
30 |
| PHP script |
55 |
Apache::Registry script,
without CGI.pm |
62 |
| Apache handler |
69 |
So if you want real performance and you ask me, the answer is
clear: take mod_perl and use what it already has (and it
really has a lot).
