Need advice about Perl power
|
Can't Post

Greetings All !
I've been using Perl for a while and will soon be operating a Perl-based auction script/site.
However, I'm thinking about the future. Just in case my site should become popular, I'm wondering how many hits a Perl .cgi script can take per day before overloading the server it's on ?
(Each individual auction on the site is saved as a textfile, as are user records.)
I'm thinking, based on what little I've overheard/read from various sources, that I may have to rewrite the entire code in something else (Javascript ?)... and may have to interface it with some sort of SQL database (MySQL ?). That is, IF I want it to remain fast and be able to handle a lot of traffic.
If you have any thoughts/advice, please Email me at "draasch@cerner.com" or "draasch@frontierblazers.com", as I will probably post my problem in multiple forums on multiple sites... hoping to get some information quickly.
Thank you !!!!
