Hello everyone. I am getting close to completing an early version of my open source forum system perlBB (http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlbb). I was wondering if someone could give me some advice about distribution of code between modules. In the scenario that the perl scripts in my system are run non - persistantly on a server, they will of course have to be compiled to bytecode every time they're run. So I need to place an upper limit on the size of any one script to avoid performance bottlenecks caused by long compile times.

At the moment the core script is about 25 KB and will (when finished) handle the most common requests. Should I be thinking about splitting into modules at this point? Or maybe that already sounds too big for a CGI script. Any advice appriciated.

Steven.
