HI,

I am in urgent need of optimising the a perl script which is able to handle to 1000 request in one min and the requirement is to handle 5000 requests in one minute.

I have that file with me. Could any one let me know how can we find out which portion of the code is taking much time, or any idea how should I start on this issue.

Any help/idea is welcome.

Thanks
Rishi

If your waiting on a reply then I would post the script first or you have little chance.

If I had to guess, it'd be the "perl" part that is taking so much time. Perl is not noted for it's efficient use of time or memory. For little things, you'd never notice, but for larger things or things that need to do many jobs quickly, it adds up.

Try cutting down the number of imported modules.

Don't bother with perlcc. If it works at all you'll end up with an executable multiple megabytes in size.
