Webreference.com sent an email with information on how one can run Perl
scripts outside the web-server's space.  This Perl mod keeps a Perl instance
running all of the time so it doesn't have to start one with each request.
I'm not sure what kind of porting effort it would require.  The topic seemed
appropriate to those who posted earlier about FastCGI vs. MOD_Perl etc.

Here's the URL (ends with .pm so watch the wrap!)

Enjoy your weekend (or your long weekend in the States)!
