Hey Folks!
Many of you will remember our old pal Rich Duzenbury. We haven't heard
from him on this list in over a year because, sad to say, he no longer
dabbles in Miva but has moved on to using other scripting languages. I
did get a message from Rich, however, that was extrememly
insteresting...
He's been working with Perl and MySQL and wondered how well it
performed. He thought of MivaTest and converted it to a Perl script
using MySQL as the DBASE engine and has dubbed it "PerlTest". Rich sent
me the URL to his PerlTest page and I set SAM to work doing a mock-up
MivaTest page including the PerlTest URL just to see how well it would
do compared to Miva. The results are interesting:

Rich says his server is a "lowly Pentium II - 266 with 128Mb of RAM".
Miva compares favorably with regard to the DBASE scores but the rest of
the tests, well, I think terribly dissappointed with Miva would be
putting it extremely mildly...
If anyone would like to download PerlTest, it is available from Rich's
website at:

As far as installation instructions, etc., you're on your own...
