∟Perl Programs as IIS Server CGI Scripts

This chapter provides tutorial examples and notes on Perl programs as IIS Server CGI Scripts. Topics include IIS server configuration for Perl programs as CGI scripts; perlis.dll performance much better than perl.exe to support Perl CGI scripts; comparing performance of Perl, ASP, and JSP scripts.

Configuring IIS 5.0 for Perl Programs

perl.exe vs. perlis.dll

Conclusion:

• Obviously, perl.exe is 2 times slower than perlis.dll. So I changed the configuration on IIS to map *.pl files to perlis.dll.
• Perl is slower than JSP and ASP.
