Yes, it can. Any persistent perl interpreter will do (and even plain CGI, but then there's the overhead of reading the configuration file on every CGI call). > Is there a particular reason to use SpeedyCGI as opposed to mod_perl? Not really. SpeedyCGI is a bit simpler solution, and I think it's cleaner because it keeps the perl script in a separate backend process rather than running it inside Apache. But that's just a matter of taste.
