[rt-users] RT Performance after Perl modules upgrade on CentOS

Tue Nov 20 15:30:38 EST 2007

Has anybody notices a dramatic performance decrease with any recent  
perl cpan upgrades? I've recently upgraded the CPAN modules and RT has  
taken a significant hit - performance easily dropped by 70-80%.

I haven't had a chance to look fully into it - it isn't heavily used  
currently - so I figured I'd ask if someone has perhaps run into  
it...  OS is CentOS v4.5 and the logs are peppered with the following  
warnings,

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/rt3/ 
lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm line 632.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/rt3/ 
lib/RT/I18N.pm line 395.

These all correspond with the day that performance dropped so I am  
looking at downgrading Encode and a few other modules,

Here are my current perl modules,
