Is there any chance for fastcgi-support in later releases? mod_perl is fine but its only supported by apache and there are a lot of other great webservers out there which support fastcgi (which apache does too ;)) so it would be a good alternative to using mod_perl.

Otherwise everyone using an alternative webserver is bound to use pure and slow CGI :(.

Now you will find bin/fcgi-bin/*.fpl in cvs head. This will work with fast cgi.

Anyway, the performance is better the pure CGI, but in my setup mod_perl is ~ 8 times faster then fast cgi. Is this normal?

Thank you very much. I'll try it out on a dev-machine. In which version will it be included 1.4.x or in the next 1.3.x? Hmm, I don't know about the performance difference of mod_perl vs. fast-cgi. I've just seen mod_php vs. php through fast-cgi where it even outperformed mod_php. Fast-cgi has the advantage that the perl process doesn't need to be restarted each time but maybe it just does no preloading of modules so it could be possible that its not as fast as mod_perl (8 times is a lot though). thomas
