> a wild assertion (paraphrasing, "BLOCK eval causes an order of magnitude(s) slowdown") which runs counter to consensus experience My guess: The OP was highlighting a modperl environment, which is notorious for global side effects IIRC. So if one of the other modperl clients is manipulating the error mechanism, (like setting $SIG{WARN} or CGI::Carp or something homebrewn), this could lead to some slowdown.(Disclaimer: I never tried this, especially never tried modperl) It's hard to tell why this is triggered by eval {BLOCK} , but this could be connected to ignoring that special variable which indicates the handler was fired inside an eval. (See $^S in perlvar ) All of this is of course not related to JSON ... and switching to another technology like fastcgi or PSGI should fix it. Tho I wouldn't be surprised if the OP fiddled with error handlers by himself without taking care of $^S
