Thanks, I suspect you have once again saved me both time and a small headache. Like everyone here, I really appreciate all you do.

Yeah, I looked at SpeedyCGI and once created a test version of OpenWebmail
<br />>
with SpeedyCGI and one without. I then tested both to see if SpeedyCGI really
<br />>
made that much of an impact to justify the tremendous hassles that its
<br />>
installation generates. After all: SpeedyCGI is a bit instrusive to install on
<br />>
a CentOS5 or SL6 box and there are a few parts where one has to be careful not
<br />>
to break things.
<br />>
<br />>
In the end I found the very minor speed increase not worth the hassles, as
<br />>
OpenWebmail runs just fine on the regular Perl.
