Over the last few years we have progressed like all of us here from putting
all the HTML in Perl to writing our own template modules to now using
HTML::Templates. There is now a debate on the scalability of the module.
Considerations of development and maintenance times have been discussed, but
the issue of scalability keeps coming up. We�ve done some internal
benchmarking on some sample scripts, which show (obviously) that using HTML
in Perl or very simple templates using eval are faster. For sites that don�
t get much traffic, there is no debate.
We know about mod Perl and caching templates, so I�m not looking for advice
in that area.
Could anyone that uses H::T on a heavy traffic site (for discussion sake,
sites with peak visits over 20 per second. I�m not talking Amazon or Yahoo
loads) please give us success or failure stories.
Thank you in advance.
