With respect to perl, is that still true?
Yes, unless you use the optimized mod_perl apache module, which will
cache the script. I think there's another technology that pre-caches
scripts and executes them in the same process space instead of
executing a new instance every time, but I forgot what it was called
(its been a while since I've done CGI). I think it was FastCGI, or
something like that, it was for *NIX.
