Re: [cgiapp] Load Testing cgiapp

[Paul Johnston <suppressed>]

Thanks for all your help regarding caching and queries and stuff.

I have experience of these kinds of things with many other languages, 
just not really with perl, so you've given me a whole load of things to 
look over and find out about.

Coming (back after 7 years) to perl from other languages there are 
certain things in other languages that you want to be available in 
perl.  One of those things is from ColdFusion and is what I'm asking about.

In ColdFusion, you have "applications" and they have "session" and 
"application" variables.  These are in-memory variables.  The session 
variables are the same as we would understand, but the application 
variables are an in-memory store that is the same for everyone.  Very 
helpful for caching application specific data *if* you don't overload it.

Regarding caching data - a file cache is almost never quicker than a DB 
based cache, *but* an in-memory cache available to all users is 
definitely quicker.  You would only ever cache data in that way that was 
specific to the application.  You already have session variables for 
session specific (user specific application) so that's important.

Anyway - nuff said.

Thanks again

Paul
