in thread Perl scripts making my site slow
Jeff,
I am a novice, but I am learning. Let me give you an idea what I was thinking about and you tell me if this makes sense.
If I update my index.html file, I upload it and everything is fine. The index.html calls upon several pages and updates automatically. If I put this index.html file in a directory say... (www.mysite.com/dontgohere/index.html) and I make a cron job look at that file and run it, then dump the page as a visitor would see in html into the file (www.mysite.com/index.html). Then when someone accesses my main page, it is just a html file and shouldn't be slow.
Does this sound like it would work?
Thanks

That sounds like it should work, but we are leaving out the specifics. Why don't you try
this. Write a cron job that runs one of these scripts you speak of. Have it write the output to
some .html file that a user will view. Set the cron job for every minute or 5 minutes until you
get it working correctly, then set it to run ever a hour or two. If you have problems with this,
then ask us specific questions about that in a new thread.
Then, once you get all of that working ... you can look into Template Toolkit should you want
to "upgrade" your system. ;) Cheers and good luck!
