Fastcgi is an "apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi" away on my platform....

... and thus you're not using a $4.95/month host.

For $4.95/month, hosts aren't going to grant shell access, or install custom software, or even configure software such as FastCGI or mod_perl such that it works for all of their shared hosting customers on a single server. I believe mod_perlite has the opportunity to be a very small module, easily distributed, easily installed, and requiring almost no configuration. If it takes 30 seconds to install and configure, that's too much.

That doesn't make FastCGI bad or mod_perl bloated or useless. mod_perlite has very different goals. Once you're capable of running your own server, I'm sure you can think of lots of ways to achieve those goals. mod_perlite is not intended for people who run their own servers.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
