Hi all,
So for many years I've been slack and writing perl scripts to do
various things - but never needed more than the normal apache +ExecCGI
and Template Toolkit.
One of my sites has become a bit more popular, so I'd like to spend a
bit of time on performance. Currently, I'm seeing ~300-400ms of what I
believe to be execution time of the script loading, running, and then
blatting its output to STDOUT and the browser can go do its thing.
I believe most of the delay would be to do with loading perl, its
modules etc etc
I know that the current trend would be to re-write the entire site in a
more modern, daemon based solution - and I started down the Mojolicious
path - but the amount of re-writing to save 1/3rd of a second seems to
be excessive.
Would I be correct in thinking that mod_perl would help in this case?
I did try a basic test, but I have a 'use functions' in all my scripts
that loads a .pm with some global vars and a lot of common subs - and
for whatever reason (can't find anything on Google as to why), none of
the subs are recognised in the main script when loaded via
ModPerl::PerlRun.
So throwing it out to the list - am I on the right track? wasting my
time? or just a simple mistake?
