Well, not really a patch but a tiny contribution to an
excellent guide -- Mr Beckman, I hope this is of use:
On/section:
guide/performance.html#Using_1_Under_mod_perl_and_be
"Using $|=1 Under mod_perl and Better print() Techniques"
Whilst the code is correct, even if it does use CGI.pm...,
It might be a good idea to mention that if an external file is pulled
in by the header, it seems that it has to be loaded before any
output occurs.
My print_html_header methods have a flag which will cause
SCRIPT src and relevant LINK href URIs to be parsed,
loaded and included inline. Slow but better than a poke in the eye
with a sharp stick.
Hope that helps
