Hello,
Speedy itself runs nicely with suidperl without IAMSUID from the command
line in Squeeze - just make a hello world test.pl file and try it a few
times with "time speedy test.pl" and "time suidperl test.pl" befora and
after issuing "chmod u+s test.pl".
For Apache2, you can use the speedycgi with suidperl and even OpenWebmail
in Squeeze.
First, you need to add "AddHandler speedycgi-script .pl" to your site
config for it to work.
Second, you have to remove the "User" and "Group" lines from
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf so that Apache will run as root. This is a big
security risk and it is generally a bad idea - anyone cracking Apache will
have full control on your box instead of a limited no-login no-write user.
On the other side, it will be about 3-5 times faster.
Also, I am attaching a very ugly, untested hack if somebody really needs a
speedy with IAMSUID. It might or might work - as written above, it is not
needed anymore.
Best wishes,
Elmar
