Hello...
I'm using fastcgi for C::A for a long time in production installations,
with success (with C::A::Dispatch).
Actually, the best thing for me was to use the mod_fcgid module
(http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/) instead of the old fastcgi (www.fastcgi.com).
mod_fcgid is binary compatibility to mod_fastcgi, but I like it much more.
mod_fcgid become more popular after RoR success - it seems it become
quite common accelerator for ruby environments nowadays.
Installation is pretty easy. And it's working reliable for accelarating
my C::A non-stop in production environments.
In the past (before mod_fcgid) I had several experiences with speedycgi
(aka perperl) and C::A (with Dispatch). But I abandon this, because
there were problems. It was 2006 and I don't remember exactly the
problems I had. I remember that I've managed to have speedycgi running
and it seemed ok.
But the processes of speedycgi was becoming problematic after some
days/weeks of execution. Maybe it had to do with database persistency, I
really do not remember now. I remember also that I was very pleased to
abandon speedy and to go to mod_fcgid.
BTW, if you are interested we offer shared hosting that is ready for
C::A (wth mod_fcgi), in case you are interested. Our systems run CentOS
4, 5 (and Debian, but our Debian servers are not available for shared
hosting now).
To make a plain CGI C::A to go on Fast CGI (mod_fcgi), usually I just
have to:
use CGI::Fast qw(:standard);
and then implement the main loop, as:
while ( my $q = new CGI::Fast ) {
...
}
I also use in the dispatch() options:
args_to_new => {
QUERY => $q,
PARAMS => {
'::Plugin::DBH::dbh_config' => [ sub
{DBI->connect_cached(
MyWebApp::Util::Config->instance->GetDbConnectionParams() );} ],
},
(Util::Config->GetDbConnectionParams() just returns the connection string)
I also take care to not relyi on any relative paths in my C::A.
Best regards,
Giannis Economou

Hi Slient

I had no trouble using it. I can send my code it that helps.
