Perl Programs as IIS Server CGI Scripts

<< Perl Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples

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.
