CGI bug scripts

[Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk>]

Anthony,

Is it my imagination, or is bugreport.cgi *really* slow?  I think that
we should really investigate the possibility of using mod_perl.  It's
using CGI.pm, which is *big* and takes time to load.  I've written
scripts which I use under mod_perl and the time difference is
astonishing.  It would probably really help if we want to regenerate
static pages as well, and also reduce the load on master when people
do things like:

wget -X Bugs/db/si,Bugs/db/ix -r -l 1 -nv -nH \
  'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/aj.pkgreport.cgi?maint=jdg@debian.org'

to download all of their bug reports.

   Julian
