[Slashcode-development] Optimizing slash site

[Christopher W. <cw...@jo...>]

Hey everyone,

Here are three facts that will lead up to a question.

1) When someone hits my slash site, they end up at /index.pl

2) /homepage/index.shtml exists

3) A cookie tracks if they're signed in or not (when anonymous, the 
cookie is user=nobody)


Here's what I'm wondering. How can I create something simple that...


1) Checks for a cookie.

2) If cookie does not exist, or equals nobody, redirect to 
/homepage/index.shtml

3) Otherwise, hit index.pl


This would really take some load off of dynamic perl, thus helping 
performance and stability.
Has anyone done this?



Thanks,
Chris
