We have converted a plain cgi app under CGI::App (no dispatch) to run
under FCGI without much difficulty (Solaris). The biggest problem I
had was some "mixed" apps where I was creating 2 distinct DBI database
handles. Once I got it down to 1, everything worked well.
Primary gain is start up time from stuff like DBIx::Class (but
CGI::App and even perl are kinda heavy weight).
We still have to restart apache to debug it, although "in principle"
you don't.

Someone earlier mentioned that FastCGI adds a good layer between

The main issues I have with mod_perl is that even with Apache2::Reload
I still get errors and have to restart the server while I am
developing. I think the issue has something to do with the way that
Autorunmode is implemented.
I also like the idea that with FastCGI we can switch back to IIS. I
am trying to convince my boss that Apache is a good option, but it
would be nice to be able to switch back to IIS if there are issues.
Anyway, I worry that I will keep having issues like this as I develop,
and restarting the server every time I make a change (while in
development of course) is just silly. Does anyone know how hard it is
to set up FastCGI with CGI::Application and
CGI::Application::Dispatch?
