As of August 2006, Litmus uses mod_perl to improve performance. Typically, normal CGI scripts must be compiled by the perl interpreter for each http request. Furthermore, every request requires that perl load and compile all the perl modules Litmus uses, connect to the database, go through the Template Toolkit's initialization routines, and all sorts of other activities before Litmus even gets started processing a particular request. mod_perl performs this initialization step only once--at web server startup time--and runs the script within the context of an already running perl interpretor. | As of August 2006, Litmus uses mod_perl to improve performance.
