Hi, I have made a program in Perl (which runs using mod_perl) and I have counted the time it runs when it is accessed. I have put at the beginning of the program: my $begin = (times)[0]; And at the end I have put: my $end = (times)[0] - $begin; The value of $end is usually 0.2 seconds, but if I open that web page, the browser shows "Opening page..." for 2 or 3 seconds, even though I am the single user of that test web server and it is located on my computer, so the bandwidth is not a problem. The size of the web page is very small, so displaying it on the screen shouldn't take too much time either. What else could take so much for that page to display and what could I make to make it display faster? Thank you.
