I've installed plenty of Mods and configured the output so my site_html.pl is now more than 100 KB (I dont want to go with templates)!

Right now I'm testing offline, but when I upload everything to the server I dont want to get any 'bad surprises' from my hosting company.

Does the size of site_html.pl has any affect on the server, does the server slow down or maybe it no affect at all (because its a .pl and not a .cgi) ???

Thanks for your experiences and answers!

You shouldn't have any problems.

A couple of my site_html.pl files are nearer 200k. Its not an executed perl script, rather a reference point for other scripts within Links.

When you do a 'build' the site_html.pl file is referenced to get the layout for each of the pages that are built.

Similarly when someone does a search, rates a link, or subscribes to your newsletter/mailing-list the site_html.pl is used to 'draw' the layout of each of the pages presented to your visitor.

Its a bit like having all the templates rolled into one.

Hope this helps.


All the best

Thanks again qango, was exactly what I wanted to 'read'

It doesn't matter what the size of the file is....my html.pl (html library files) in most of my scripts run around 150K.
