Not if you mean still saving it as a MacPerl CGI script.  The MacPerl CGI
script application stays open for 5 minutes (though it is user-configurable
from 1-127 minutes or indefinitely by editing resources), but the MacPerl
script is recompiled for each hit.  With the other methods, the script is
only compiled once.  Some of my CGI scripts take 5-10 seconds to compile,
even if it is in a CGI Script app that is already running.
