Bug#568743: RFA: speedy-cgi-perl -- speed up perl scripts by making them persistent
Package: wnpp
I request an adopter for the speedy-cgi-perl package.
The long description is:
SpeedyCGI is a way to run perl scripts persistently, which usually makes
them run much more quickly because it avoids the overhead of starting
up a new perl interpreter and compiling the perl code. It is also known
as PersistentPerl: while its most common use is with CGI scripts, it can
be used to speed up most perl programs.
The package is dead upstream, the last release was in 2003. I've kept
it alive in Debian until now and there are no serious problems, but
if somebody adopts it they should probably take over upstream too.
If nobody shows up in a month or so, I'll request removal from the Debian
archive. There are a few reverse dependencies that need to be taken care of
first though (at least request-tracker3.8 and smokeping).
