Hy, I'm planning a module to suppor users that doesn't have mod_perl, but need to run persistent scripts, like in the old Fast CGI system.
The idea is to the user don't need to has shell access to install, just drop it in the /cgi-bin directory, and you can access a bridge between a process that has your Perl script and Apache. Soo, in the cgi-bin, let's say, you have a binary built in C, that make a socket connection (or nay other IPC) to a another process that is a Perl script that will receive all the %ENV that Apache send, soo the script can simulate that is inside Apache. The concept is very simple, just need to find a way to make all of this in a portable way. Soo, what name I can give for this? I just have no idea. - CGI::FastBridge? I know that Fast CGI is already there, but this is for users that can't ask to the administrator to install anything. Let's say that will be possible to make this work on SF without change any configuration of the server. Regards, Graciliano M. P.
