I appreciate your work and effort, but I have to ask you what do you think of the alert at the head of the mentioned wiki page [1] that says: "FCGI::IIS is a dirty hack and does nothing really, and none of the MVC frameworks can use it. It requires the code be re-read and execed on each request, effectively it only caches the perl exe." Which part of this statement - if anything at all - is true?
