If your app was written portably enough to run under CGI, then I would recommend going that route with AOLServer.
If you want a performance boost, look into persistent perl, SpeedyCGI or FastCGI (using the cgi2fastcgi bridge, since AOLServer doesn't support FastCGI). There might be slight code modifications required to keep the code from exiting (see perldoc for CGI::Fast etc), but it shouldn't be more than a handful of lines.
All will keep perl interpreters memory resident so you can skip that overhead when serving a page. You'll still launch a new process per request, but in each case it just runs exceedingly lightweight C code that communicates with the existing perl interpreters.

Hi,
I have an application that runs under apache mod_perl, and I was wondering if it would be possible to make it run under aolserver somehow as well.
There is this project for aolserver:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-aol/
but it doesn't have any released files and is labelled alpha. Is anyone using this - does it work?
It is propably depending on how specialised on mod_perl the application is - this one allegedly runs as cgi too, so I assume it is fairly general.
thanks in advance, til
