Apache::AutoIndex - Perl replacment for mod_autoindex

Apache::AutoIndex - Perl replacment for mod_autoindex

anyone have an experience using this?

The real question:

does using this speed the creation of a directory index in Apache
significantly? We have directories with thousands of small files.

Thanks!

It's more likely that it'll be slower because mod_autoindex is
written in C and compiled into the Apache daemon, you're not
going to get much faster than that.

Possibly you could list 500 at a time, or something, which
would be faster, however having thousands of files in a directory
isn't typically a good design.
