1. What users find is wrong with it?

I would suggest sitting with five of your users (in person and one at a time and not all together in a group which is bad) as they use it and take notes on what they don't know how to do. See what they find intuitive and find obfuscated. See www.useit.com for more info on user interface issues.

2. What features are missing from it?

Same as above though you really want to do this at the outset when you write up requirements for the project.

3. How to make it faster and other load issues?

That depends...is it slow? If it is then find your bottleneck. Is it the server hardware? The server OS? The client's hardware? The client's OS? The client's browser? The network? The algorithm used to implement function x in your CGI script? Consider timing the various parts of your code to find the bottlenecks and focus on those parts.

As you can see on this site there are many monks who point out faster and simpler alternatives to various perl hacks.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
