A promise to solve Perl compile time overhead problem? I got this from the modperl mailing list.
----- Forwarded message ----- Subject: [OT] [ANNOUNCE] PPerl 0.04 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a wee bit off topic, but may still be of interest. PPerl 0.04 has been released to CPAN. What's PPerl you may ask? Well it's a persistent perl interpreter. It's quite similar in many ways to SpeedyCGI, except it doesn't require any modifications to your CGI script or Apache setup except perhaps for the #! line to specifiy pperl rather than perl. The code is simpler than SpeedyCGI (the daemon stuff just uses Perl, rather than C, although the client end is C), so I'm hoping perhaps more people will want to get involved with improving the project (plus SpeedyCGI seems dead). The biggest reason for writing this was actually not for web stuff, but for our anti-virus and anti-spam code at MessageLabs (www.messagelabs.com). Basically perl compile time takes up most of our time to process an email, so we had to do something about it. PPerl is what came out of that, and I was allowed to release it open source. So it may be useful to anyone who has, for example, a cron job, or a mail processing script, or basically anything rather large that they need to speed up. Anyway, do play with it, and let me know what you think, and if you find bugs or anything like that.
