Well, I've got all the tools in place, and tonight I have about an hour and a half, so I'll start working on some mod_perl2 documentation. Annotateit is written entirely in perl, and it takes a long time for some of the stuff in there to execute. I don't have much experience optimizing code, so I'm not really sure how to make it faster.

I'm aware of Benchmark and "time," but there has got to be a better way than to take a section of code, benchmark it and then see if there's a faster way to run it. How?...

So until I figure that part out, I'll work on mod_perl documentation and get a handle on how that works, and then just use brute force instead of finesse to get the execution speed I want.
