in thread What is mod_perlite?

It's the host that's going to install mod_fastcgi or mod_perlite (not the user), so it doesn't matter whether the user has shell access or not.

    Like I said, for $4.95 a month, the host isn't going to install or configure software for you.

      Not for "you", for everyone. Like they already do with mod_php.

      The argument being made:

      If the host won't install mod_fcgi, why would they install mod_perlite? So why create mod_perlite?

      If the host has installed mod_fcgi, what advantage would mod_perlite provide? So why create mod_perlite?

        I'm a hypothetical user. My hypothetical $4.95 host won't install anything besides what's there, which is apache, php, and a perl interpreter. I have ftp access only. Can your project do the job?

        Every hosting provider has to decide what to provide for their customers on their servers, and the 3 main deciding factors are:

        1. Do a lot of customers want it?
        2. Will it be safe for us to provide?
        3. Will it add any admin and/or support hassles?
        AFAIK, not a lot of shared hosting setups provide mod_fcgi. If mod_perlite answers those three questions better than mod_fcgi, then it will be worth it for them to provide it.
