apache perl too slow

apache perl too slow

Nonsense. Get educated: mod_perl or fastcgi. Perl enabled Apache has no trouble serving 10s of millions of pages a day with fantastic speed of execution.

Consider firing whoever has been bringing you the faulty technical advice. Developers cost more than the machines that run their code. All other things being roughly equal, you should be looking for the language that lets you develop code the quickest.

Case study: I worked on a project where we designed and built, in Perl and from scratch, a website with user accounts, posting with HTML validation, threaded posts/comments, weighted post voting, size capped and validated image uploads, user level/privilege system, cookie and session management, interface to remote webservices for user data lookups, and a chat engine. All the code was object oriented.

We did it all in 6 months.

Oh, excuse me. Did I say we? I meant I. And did I say 6 months? I meant two weeks.
