Hi Alan,

thanks for the response.

I thought that running through perl would be better as the interpreter was loaded into memory.

So what would be better, a Perl script or using unlang?

Basically the script does a select query on the DB, then all the logic and does some inserts into the DB.

What do you recommend perl or unlang?

Thanks

Well, upgrading may help.

That's really not a good idea. It slows the server down a *lot*.

That's likely related to the Perl script. If that's slow, there can
be a whole chain of cascading failures.

It's likely the script. But upgrading to 2.2.3 wouldn't hurt either.
