Well, for what it's worth, here is what I have done when migrationg a project
to CGI::App with, hopefully, fastCGI under suxexec. I run apache mod_fcgid.
It's a module I can much recommend, it is rock solid.
To illustrate, my application is ernad.
In /etc/apache2/sites-available/ernad.repec.org
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/nep_ernad.fcgi$1 [L]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin
<directory /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
<location />
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</location>
Here is /var/www/ernad/cgi-bin/nep_ernad.fcgi
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use lib qw(/home/ernad/ernad/perl/);
use CGI::Fast qw/-utf8/;
use Ernad::Erimp;
use Ernad::Index;
my $impna='nep';
our $e=Ernad::Erimp->new({'impna'=>$impna}) or die;
while (my $q = new CGI::Fast) {
my $app = new Ernad::Index(QUERY => $q);
$app->run();
}
This approach seems to work fine. Apache fires up a new fcgi daemon
when none is running and a request comes along. I don't need
a startup script for the fcgi daemon.
My application is supposed to create an application object, an Erimp,
when it starts. This loads the stylesheets, so they are compiled
when a request arrives. The other day I changed the stylesheet without
the killing---thus restarting---the daemon, and it showed the results
of the changed sheet, which it should not have done, so I need to
look into this more, but as far I understand, this is the sort
of setup you need to run CGI::App as FastCGI without much trouble.
