Hi list.
Since I'm using Apache::ASP::Loader to precompile scripts and doing so
via NFS, it kind of took a long time.
Most of it was spent not compiling scipts, but traversing files and
directories which is still painfully slow on NFS.
Since a few of them contained about 2500 images, there should be no need
for Loader to look into them, so I added an argument to Loader
``Ommit_Dirs'' whose value should be a reference to an array containing
dirs the compiler should ommit.
I think it is reasonably useful and I *suppose* I haven't messed up, but
please look into it if you're interested.
   

It does seem useful.  My work around before has been to programmatically call
Apache::ASP->Load on only the directories that I want to be read fully.  Can
this approach work for you without adding this config?  Otherwise let me
 

It could, but I'm probably too lazy to do it like that :)
You see, the directory structure I have is like this:
htdocs/
   domain1
   domain2
      images/lots_of_images
      irrelavant_files/lots_of_html
   ...
   domain N
etc, so I feed the Loader the directive to compile all asp's in 
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/, which all more or less have some scripts to 
compile in them.
Problem is, they also have directories I wouldn't want the Loader to 
spend time looking in.
So instead of repeating the directive N times, I thought of this. I'm 
sure all of us can live without it, but it did cut 40 secs out of the 3 
minutes it takes to recompile all the scripts by just listing 3 
directories in there.

consider your patch when I get back from vacation.  I would think another name
like ExcludeDirs might be better, but I'll check it out for another possible
solution as well.
 

I suppose ``ExcludeDirs'' is a better name...
OTOH, if you want to avoid another configuration directive, it isn't 
really a problem.
Have a nice vacation !
