[MacPerl] how to preload data

[Tasselli Marco <ita.mis@euro.apple.com>]

hi everybody,

I'm new to this list and MacPerl.

I've dowloaded MacPerl and plan to use it for CGI scripting.
I've rewritten many CGI programs I wrote with Python (on the Mac)
because Python is very demanding in memory usage when preloading
associative arrays (python's dictionaries) for use with CGI programs.

Here is a brief picture.

When the web server starts, I load a program which read many data files
into associative arrays for later access by different cgi programs (sort
of an 'in-memory' database with lots of records).
This is done, of course, the first time only and then any program can
use the data.

What is the best way to implement this in MacPerl.

regards
Marco Tasselli
