If PerlRunOnce is On, then you can use your code without any changes, even
if it is completely horrible. PerlRunOnce Off allows for bigger speed
increases, but then you have to write the handler.
If you just want a really quick speed improvement, stick it on PerlRun
with PerlRunOnce On and see if that's sufficient.
If you feel like writing the handler (so that you can get a really big
speed boost) then you can run it with PerlRunOnce Off.
