PersistentPerl Kicks Butt! You can use the standard CGI stuff, and still
get the speed benefits of hacks like mod_perl. Most of my bigger web
applications take about 5seconds for perl to parse, which would make them
useless without PersistentPerl.
One site I built using PersistentPerl is http://store.wolfram.com/ - I
don't know if they still use it, but I don't see why they would have
changed. It was a beauty.
