in reply to Is mod_perl going the way of the dinosaur?

Hello Polyglot,

> A friend wants to run my scripts on his Windows computer..

I fought a lot trying to run my (oldies) CGIs on windows Internet Information Services (IIS) and was always a pain. I tried with XAMPP and was a pain too.

Now what is left running on windows at $work was rewrote by me with Dancer2 and started at system startup via scheduled tasks with


# program to run                           # arguments to be passed to
C:\perl5.26-64\perl\site\bin\twiggy.bat    --listen 10.10.10.10:80 c:/
+scripts/MyAwesomeWebsite/bin/app.psgi

[download]

I have perl5.26-64 in PATH and after several tries I found Twiggy a good choice.

good luck

    Okay, I'm ignorant: Is IIS something like LAMP? I assumed it was something like a database system, and didn't think much of it. Could it actually be used in place of the Apache/MariaDB/mod_perl setup? All I was aware of was that I had to go in and change its port so that I could use port 80 with Apache.

    Blessings,

      Hello,

      maybe I was not clear enough.. I will rephrase it:

      avoid IIS as much as possible, dont even think IIS to be something useful for a perl programmer with Linux background

      It would be easier to write your own preforking server than bind IIS to your will. Unfortunately IIS is my daily brad at $work, so in this case, my statement is ~autorithative :)
