Best Practices Question

["Daniel B. Hemmerich" <suppressed>]

What is a better route to go?

 

1. Have a handler in Apache call a package directly using a handler() – having the module itself parse out arguments passed in and loading configuration files based on argument values.
2. Build a script in /cgi-bin/ that uses mod_perl2, parses passed in arguments, loads configuration files, and then creates a new instance of the module mentioned in option 1, and then calls a “run()” in the module that performs all the real work.

 

Is using new() under mod_perl2 inefficient at all that it would be best to not use it when not necessary?

 

Thanks!
