I was trying to test the CGI response time of a
Perl/CGI script under two conditions: as multiple
modules versus a single big script. First I installed
IndigoPerl (from indigostar.com) on my Windows machine
(which has an integrated apache server with mod_perl
enabled by default). Then I ran this
After I set up my app (webtool.cgi) and created the
single script version (bigtool.cgi), I ran this script
on my machine and it showed that the single file was
about 10-15% faster than the multiple modules.
No offense, but your script must not have been doing much in this test.

The difference between putting everything in one
script vs. using
modules is just the time it takes to open and read
the files. It's a
I was also thinking it would only make a small

'all this functionality in a single script'
They probably don't know any better, but to me that translates to giant

Perrin,
You want something more like this:
Alias /perl-bin/ c:/IndigoPerl//perl-bin/
PerlModule Apache::Registry
Location /perl-bin
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
/Location
Yup, this gets it working (It does need the line
LoadModule
