make a perl script stay resident (compiled)?

[HQ]

How do I make a perl script stay resident (compiled) in memory?

I have a few scripts that are executed multiple times per second. It makes no sense for my server to compile these scripts every single execution. Is there a way to leave the script in memory and, better yet, leave the script compiled in memory?

[notjoe]

FastCGI, it is an apache module, does what you want it to do.

Thanks Joe. Someone just told me modperl (mod_perl?) might do this. Know anything about it?

I think your friend is right, i always get those two mixed up however, for optimized speed i would suggest using both. You might want to RTMF on the details of both the modules as i have not used/dealt with perl in years!

Here are a couple sites to get you started!

mod_perl - http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/
FastCGI - http://www.fastcgi.com/

ModPerl just allows you to put Perl embedded in your
HTML. You want the FastCGI module for leaving scripts
up in memory.

[HQ]

some_idiot, thanks. Have you used either or both before? I would appreciate some comments from someone who has done this before. There always seems to be a list of common bugs/mistakes with these type of things that I would like to avoid.

I'm reading up on both right now; I will be posting my results on GFY of course.

HA, i knew i was right, i guess i should have RTMF'd (i like to think of it as READ THE FUCKING MANUAL) but like i said i havent used perl for a long long time.

Why not redo your scripts in PHP? i think php is way better than perl anyways!

I need a quick fix for now... later on I will re-code my script in PHP or C. Even though perl has kick-ass text manipulation functions, PHP must be faster for the simple fact that it is not a interpretive language... right?

Uhm, why don't you figure out what you're talking about before you spout off incorrect crap.

Mod_Perl does *EXACTLY* what he wants, but *IS NOT* CGI. It is not a tool to "embed" perl into html pages, it CAN be used to do that, but is one of those insanely powerful things.

In fact, mod_perl is used to build some extremely hard hit dynamic sites out there, where using CGI is impractical. Think of it something like a persistant script always running (i.e. if I say, increase a global variable $blah++, then the next visitor will be able to see that increase immediate, without any disk writing).

You need to code specificially for mod_perl though. I repeat, it's NOT CGI. CGI is just a spec as to how applications talk to a webserver, mod_perl is a perl interpreter directly compiled into the webserver (so to speak). It's also not easy to code correctly for mod_perl either, there are very few gurus in this area out in the world, I'd venture to say less than 100.

Figures on GFY someone would akin mod_perl to PHP. Go figure.


I'm not all too familiar with FastCGI, but from what I recall is it not just a means to cache things in memory? Shrug. It will probably help out, and be the easiest to use.

PHP isn't interpreted? heh.

PHP is slow as hell when compared to other languages when you take away CGI. i.e. PHP vs. mod_perl there isn't even a contest.

PHP is very much so interpreted. In fact, it's based on Perl.

Of course, I am bigotted against PHP, I think it's a very poorly done language, with not too much regard towards security and availability. It's getting better, but is still an absolute headache to support in a hosting role, when upgrades tend to break random functions in peoples scripts and whatnot.

PHP is fine for many uses, but performance is not one of them. It may be better than */CGI in most cases, but not always.

RTFM /R-T-F-M/ imp. [UNIX] Acronym for `Read The Fucking Manual'. 1. Used by gurus to brush off questions they consider trivial or annoying. Compare Don't do that, then!. 2. Used when reporting a problem to indicate that you aren't just asking out of randomness. "No, I can't figure out how to interface UNIX to my toaster, and yes, I have RTFM." Unlike sense 1, this use is considered polite. See also FM, RTFAQ, RTFB, RTFS, RTM, all of which mutated from RTFM, and compare UTSL

I agree. RTFM is more popular than RTMF. It probably started as RTM and then went to RTFM as RTM -> RTMF makes no sense.

What is miniserv.pl? Is this perl's interpreter that exectutes everytime a perl script is executed?

[cgiGeek]

Phil21 is right, all others not sure what the heck they are talking about.
Php can do all text parsing perl can but in many more lines.
Php has an advantage over perl in performance for web output,
but is not worth the hassle in my professional opinion.
Mod_perl and fast cgi are not intented for kids, few of us perl hardcore fans can code for mod_perl or fast cgi.
Most of perl scripst out there wont run on mod_perl or fast cgi, they need to be ported, yes, even if they are both perl they diferent in requirements by a mile.
Get a good sys admin to hook you mod_perl,
and get a pro to check and probaly port your script.

Real men use Perl.
All php fans are perl reyects.

I've used both with the Liberty Health site coverme.com
in Canada.

We were taking 10,000 hits a hour on an insurance
system so it HAD to be solid.

The one thing we found, was check EVERYTHING twice
before putting it on the live server, and double your
server's memory from what you'd expect with just
Apache running. FastCGI gave us about 30% speed
increase over FreeBSD with soft updates turned on
on the file system.

Well. Lucky for you this is GFY cause here everybody gets a chance to say stupid things about stuff they don?t have a clue about.

HQ. MOD_PERL will do what you want and more. Same thing about FAST-CGI. They are both aimed at improving the speed of your script execution.
While FAST_CGI is general CGI accelerator MOD_PERL is PERL ONLY.
As any specific target product MOD_PERL might do better for you if you use it correctly - that is if you are using PERL.
MOD_PERL is not for embedding perl into HTML. embed_perl is embedding the mod_perl module into Apache.
MOD_PERL compiles your PERL and stick it into an infinite loop where each call to the original script just releases another execution of the main loop.
Indeed, like Phil21 (who was, compared to some_idiot, at least half right) suggested, you need to know how to "modify" your scripts to MOD_PERL and there is something like global variables BUT unlike he said - dont do the $Blah++ mistake. Its a long technical explanation, but suffice to say, if you do that - you wont get what you expect. at least not the 1, 2, 3, 4, output you might expect.
Unlike some idiot has suggested, MOD_PERL DOES keep the code (compiled version) resident in memory (at least until the original code is modified or Apache is shut down) and that saves both compilation and loading time. Not only does it leave the code in memory, it even leaves multiple instances of it (unless you configure it differently).
In addition it enables you to use Database connection pooling that will accelerate greatly - db centered application.

FAST_CGI works in a different way and also requires special code modification. It works in a manner similar to MOD_PERL but outside the web-server. The disadvantage that FAST_CGI has - is a much smaller user-base than MOD_PERL - hence much smaller "support" group.

Using both like some idiot suggested here - is mostly idiotic (surprise, surprise).
Google "FAST CGI vs. MOD PERL" if you want to learn more.

That?s my

[some_idiot]

Sure, sure, sure... if you want to consider preloading
every script on the system that you may or may not
use and shuffling them to handler a good method in
the real world of (make a perl script stay resident).

Go head... Mod_Perl is not ment for the same things
that FastCGI is. One should not hammer with a screw
driver.

Just go to the Real World Scenarios Implementation
section on the Perl docs sites and you will see for yourself
which works better for the scripts of this industry and
which works better for middleware to a database.

(oops, board does not like quotes...)

[Phil21]

Er, mod_perl can indeed (in fact, I personally havn't seen otherwise, although my exerpience with it IS limited) keep code resident.

That's one reason why it's such a performance increase over CGI, you don't need to fork off a process that compiles the code, then runs it, then spits back output.

And no, the $blah++ was just to illustrate a point, wasn't trying to say it would act a certain way. The idea being that you can use "global" variables and have the accessable by all your apache children at once.

What I said was technically correct. And like I said I have nearly zero experience with fastCGI, but is it not really a form of a cacheing daemon? A proxy server to your scripts, so to speak.

No, I don't code for mod_perl. I tend to do the more basic Perl stuff myself. But, my business partner is hardcore into it, and I also contract out some of the more complex C/mod_perl/etc. stuff to another guy I know well.

Anyways, my point being that mod_perl is not just to "imbed perl into html pages" which would simply make it a glorified templating language. There are many ways to do that in mod_perl, EmbedPerl being one of them AFAIK.

To answer the question about why PHP is faster in some cases that Perl/CGI is that the interpreter of PHP is built-in to apache (in almost all cases at least). This saves having to start up the interpreter and load it into memory for each hit.

-Phil

[HQ]

Doing a bit of research... what about Velocigen, PerlEx, and Speedy::CGI?

PerlEX is only for windows systems, I *think*.

[vending_machine]

mod_perl is the biggest piece of shit in the whole universe. I can't believe how crappy that code is.

FastCGI is ok, but I'd stay clear of it. Write good code, or write an apache module. If you have good code, it shouldn't matter that it's only loaded a few times / sec.

[HQ]

So far, mod_perl appears to be the answer:

http://perl.apache.org/

[HQ]

"mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast dynamic content." - http://perl.apache.org/

[Big E]

FastCGI just encapsulations the input and output of CGI scripts, keeping it in memory..

So basically, your CGI script (Perl, C, whatever) just needs to accept the ENV parameters like usual and output text, and the FastCGI module "encapsulates" that script, feeding it input and displaying output.

I've used it quiet successfully when I needed a "running" counter in between iterations and for scalability purposes didn't want to load/increment a db table or file.

I would strongly advise against mod_perl. It adds much more complexity to the system than needed. mod_perl is "good" for huge complex sites, not for your needs (good in quotes as mod_perl in itself is a beast of code that should never have been written).

Do you have some perl scripts killing your server or something? Hire someone to write them in C if possible.

I have some perl scripts killing my server, yes. *I* can write them in C, which I am going to do. However, I just need a QUICK fix until I get my C coding done.

yup, PerlEx is just for windows. It's pretty solid, there are some pretty heavy sites using it without problems. We had a **huge** performance increase when we got it for one of our sites.

if you have the same web/cgi script ticking off several times a second you will probably see a huge improvement porting it to mod_perl. The porting would probably be pretty easy, you can look into the Apache::Registry module for running perl cgi scripts under mod_perl with little to no change and Apache::DBI for persistant database connections. There are issues with using non-thread safe perl libs under PerlEx and there probably will be with mod_perl and the new multi-threaded Apache.

I only noticed a small speed improvement using the apache c api over mod_perl except for a project that required custom crypto. The C crypto routines really took off compared to the perl (big surprise ;-) but I bet that if the crypto had been compiled as an xs lib the mod_perl version would have been almost as fast.

That's my secret -- figure it out yourself ;)

To know if somebody is cheating -- I don't need the IP address of every surfer -- I just need to observe general behaviors -- and this doesn't require huge databases either. In fact -- your main script doesn't even have to be doing cheat calculations all day long! That's wasted CPU time! All you need to do is store the essential behaviors to disk... When you suspect cheating -- run an entirely different program to do cheat calculations and analysis. This way you don't bog down your site.

My script is VERY similar (I think). I thought I invented some of the shit in my script until I found it in only 2 other scripts that I know of...

Mine uses unique IPs, however, so I do not count 1 hit in and 1,000 clickthrus the same as 800 hits in and 1,000 clickthrus. I do not let the same surfer account for more than ??? hits.
