Folks,
This one's for the more technocratic list-members (You know who
you are :-). We're thinking of getting our feet wet with FastCGI or
mod_perl but I haven't been able to find much info on how arduous the
overall process of setting up, converting to & supporting FastCGI or
mod_perl is, what the relative pros & cons of one or the other is, and
what pitfalls to watch out for.
Heck, I spent last night manually grepping through
www.fastcgi.com and I'm still not quite sure what it *is*. All the
docs there are either marketing white papers ("It's neat, it's keen,
it's cool!" - admittedly a lot less hype than some others, but not
much substance) or are focused on extremely detailed and limited
scopes (how to convert your CGI document to FastCGI - well yes, of
course to take advantage of persistence I need to restructure the
code to expect to be persistent; but what does FastCGI bring to
the process?).
Specifically, we're running Linux, Apache, Perl and a RDBMS
package called Solid (very reliable, very common in Europe). We think
the major overhead in our scripts is the database connectivity, since
almost every script calls a database. What're our options?
