Re: mod_perl and 700k files...
I'm relatively new to mod_perl... I've got a 700k file that is loaded each time I run a CGI script, so I'm hoping to cache the file using mod_perl somehow. The file will change occasionally (maybe once a week) - the reload of a few seconds isn't worrisome, but it has to be done without restarting the server. Boy you sure got some complex answers... You know, I really was thinking the same thing myself, but I'm new with mod_perl, so I thought it was normal. Funnily enough, I got some offlist replies about how sending signals causes memory leaks (and how the mod_perl people won't admit it), and how Stas flips out a lot. Ah well... I store a .stor file which is a storable dump of my XML tree. I check the mtime of that against the mtime of the .xml file. Whichever is newer I load that. Works fast and is very simple. I'll certainly check it out. I also started looking into SAX to see if I could do something with that as well, and that looks promising too. Tell me, is there some write up of the differences between XPath and SAX? And why I should use either one? -- ICQ: 2927491 / AOL: akaMorbus Yahoo: morbus_iff/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://www.disobey.com/

You can only avoid that if you restart the server or use some kind of shared memory approach. - Perrin
