one of the gotchas with mod_perl is that it runs a persistent vesion of the
interpreter. any global values you set hang around indefinitely. there
are pros and cons to that, and it takes some getting used to. at very
least, it has a different feel than the normal, one-shot style of
execution. it can also interfere with your use of packages and modules,
because perl does some funky stuff behind the scenes to make them work.
i don't have any direct information on FastCGI.. one of my techs rolls his
eyes and makes gagging noises whenever anyone mentions it, but he's also a
PHP junkie, so you have to take that with a healthy dose of salt. he's
less condescending about mod_perl, for whatever that's worth. ;-)
