Re: mod_octave?

[Gavin Jin]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that
every time your perl script calls octave inline, the server still has
to load the interpreter. No?

The purpose of all those mod_* is they are  modules of Apache and
are loaded once and for all when the server is started. Unless mod_perl 
or other mod_*
comes with octave interpreter, I don't see how the reloading with
new tasks can be avoided.
