--- Comment #8 from Petr Pisar <ppi...@redhat.com> --- CGI::Fast is for running CGI scripts through FastCGI protocol. There is no need for that. Instead you should execute the CGI scripts as a normal CGI script directly by the httpd. You only need to configure httpd to load mod_cgid or mod_cgi module (depending on active MPM implementation) and hook .cgi file names to that module (using "SetHandler cgi-script"). This is nothing new to RHEL-8. It was like that even in RHEL-7. For the long-running state-preserving jobs, you can use FCGI Perl module in the job scripts (already packaged in RHEL-8). In my opinion CGI::Fast does not provide many benefits comparing to FCGI module. In both cases you need to change the scripts to contain the FastCGI loop. There is mod_fcgid for for spawning the scripts from httpd. mod_fcgid has the nice feature that it nicely reuses httpd MPM configuration (spawning multiple instances, load balancing, limiting resources, restarting and watching scripts). If you want to get rid of the FastCGI loop boilerplate code in your scripts I recommend rewriting them to the PSGI interface and using Plack as a midleware between FastCGI protocol and your script. We can package perl-CGI-Fast in EPEL 8 if you find a use for that. I only recommend you testing it first whether it fits your needs and works for you. My haze recollections are I had some issues with it. But I cannot remember what they were. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
