Why, Ged? If I understand correctly Issac's question was whether it makes sense to use Perl in other than response handlers performance/efficiency wise. Of course it does and a big part of the eagle book is about this. Why writing something in C, when you get about the same speed performance in Perl. Especially if you talk about using Apache API in Perl. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
