💅 ModPerl::RegistryBB — aka the bare-bones bestie

okay so real talk, this is libapa...istryBB(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's about a Perl module that is lowkey iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ModPerl::RegistryBB — run unaltered CGI scripts persistently under mod_perl. that's the whole assignment. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way you set this up in your httpd.conf is literally this:

# httpd.conf
PerlModule ModPerl::RegistryBB
Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/
<Location /perl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryBB
    #PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
    #PerlOptions -GlobalRequest
    Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

copy it exactly bestie, don't freestyle. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ModPerl::RegistryBB is giving major little sister energy to ModPerl::Registry. same vibe, but it does the bare minimum — and yes, the BB is a mnemonic for Bare Bones, iykyk 💀 — to compile a script file once and run it many times, all so you get the maximum performance. that's the dream, that's the main character arc.

meanwhile ModPerl::Registry is out here doing various checks, and those checks add a slight overhead to your response times. not a crime, just not bare bones. periodt. 👑

ngl, the tradeoff is the whole point of this module: fewer checks, more speed. that's it, that's the tea.
