No reason at all (to do OO Perl).  I'm just worried about Perl having
to parse a potentially large signature file every time a request is made.
I've never had the misfortune of working with a Perl CGI that was actually
slower than a servlet (at Phlair, the bottlenecks were always the
Java), so I'm not terribly concerned--but it's just one of those things I
worry about.
