Which web server are you using? If you're using Apache or Zeus, then I must recommend using FastCGI. Basically, if your program looked something like this:
my $cgi = new CGI;
$my_code->{$cgi->param("action"))->($cgi);
You'd change it to:
my $req = FCGI::Request(...);
while ($req->Accept()) {
my $cgi = new CGI;
$my_code->{$cgi->param("action"))->($cgi);
}
Then your perl program is just sitting in a little loop calling the code to generate a page when the web server connects to it. You should be able to get of the order of hundreds of dynamic page impressions per second. I'm getting 50 a second with a project I'm working on on my system, which includes some heavy database access.

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).
