How can I speed up the performance of the XML::Parser module when processing documents on a Web server?
For starters, if you are using Apache, you should probably install mod_perl, available at http://perl.apache.org. This will eliminate the time it normally takes to load the Perl interpreter and any modules you are using. If you still require speed, you might consider using Data::Dumper or Storable to dump the XML::Parser object to disk. This eliminates the time required to re-parse an XML document.
