I want to experience the dizzying effect of speed on Windoze.
Mod_perl is out because the server might be running IIS (and even if it isn't, I am sure my script will have to be re-hacked).
I was hoping for IPC-SharedCache, but that doesn't seem possible on Win.
I tried CGI-Simple for some modest speed increase, but that croaked because I am also using CGI-Session and I couldn't figure out how to make CGI-Session work with CGI-Simple.
Other than simply increasing the hardware capability, are there any insights on what I can do?
My app is a single cgi script and uses DBI, Storable, CGI, CGI-Session, and, of course, H-T.
Have a look at FastCGI which should be supported in IIS. Also checkout SpeedyCGI (also known as Persistent Perl), although I don't know if it works on Windows, as I don't use windows myself. Those two options will keep the perl interpreter in memory, so that you save the startup times on your CGI script. Also, if coded right, you can keep a persistent database connection using this as well.
If that doesn't help, then you need to profile your code to see where the bottlenecks are. Chances are your database access will be the biggest bottleneck, but that is a generalization and depends completely on your code. See Devel::DProf for info on how to profile your code.
Cheers,
Cees
