Here is an interesting article regarding performance tweaks for Linux...

Quote:
The hdparm command ("hdparm" stands for "hard disk parameters") allows you to examine and modify drive configuration. Not all modifications are good: some will lower the performance, and some can even be wildly destructive, leading to data loss. The man hdparm command shows you all the options, and highlights the dangerous ones.

io::all::http
IO::All::HTTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::All::HTTP(3pm)
NAME
IO::All::LWP - Extends IO::All to HTTP URLs
SYNOPSIS
use IO::All;
$content < io('http://example.org'); # GET webpage into scalar
io('http://example.org') > io('index.html'); # GET to file
"hello
" > io('http://example.org/index.html'); # PUT webpage
# two ways of getting a page with a password:
$content < io('http://me:secret@example.org');
$content < io('http://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret');
DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTP URL.
The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For
example, you can get an HTTP URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file.
METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "http", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTP object; or it can also
take an HTTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('http://example.com'), which calls the "http" method
automatically.
OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTP URL; > PUTs to an HTTP URL.
SEE ALSO
IO::All, IO::All::LWP, LWP.
