mod_perl + mt
Spent some time today on a coffee break catching up with what changes MT would need to move to mod_perl instead of using the standard /cgi-bin.
Mod_perl is pretty cool, as the way things currently work with a perl script whenever it is called it has to be compiled and then run. Mod_perl allows the MT scripts to be compiled and loaded into memory upon apache load, theoretically offering large benefits when mt is first loaded and run.
This isn't an issue for many scripts, but MT is a bit large and while it's not slow on a server like ru42's if it can be made even faster without large headaches, why not.
So far it looks good, I'm missing 2 specific Perl modules that i'll want to make available server-wide, instead of just installing them into the directory for dynamic load per the instructions, and will spend some more time in the next few days taking a look at the script changes needed. If they aren't too annoying I'll impliment them and see how it goes.
