One of my sites has become a bit more popular, so I'd like to sp=
end a bit of time on performance. Currently, I'm seeing ~300-400ms of wh=
at I believe to be execution time of the script loading, running, and th=
en blatting its output to STDOUT and the browser can go do its thing.&nb=
sp;

I believe most of the delay would be to=
do with loading perl, its modules etc etc

=
I know that the current trend would be to re-write the entire site in a =
more modern, daemon based solution - and I started down the Mojolicious =
path - but the amount of re-writing to save 1/3rd of a second seems to b=
e excessive

Would I be correct in thinking =
that mod_perl would help in this case?

I di=
d try a basic test, but I have a 'use functions' in all my scripts that =
loads a .pm with some global vars and a lot of common subs - and for wha=
tever reason (can't find anything on Google as to why), none of the subs=
are recognised in the main script when loaded via ModPerl::PerlRun.

So throwing it out to the list - am I on the r=
ight track? wasting my time? or just a simple mistake?
