The idea is to the user don't need to has shell access to install, just drop[snip]
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.
Have you looked at PPerl and PersistentPerl, both on CPAN. They sound close to what you want.
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.
If there is a binary involved then I don't see how it's going to be any easier than any of the existing solutions, Fast CGI and Speedy CGI included.
