perrin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone been successful in getting this combination to work? I have installed the DLL found here, and configured the registry settings as described in the readme. Some of these settings I'm not so sure about, like AppPath, BindPath, and Args. It does seem like it's executing perl.exe, but I get back the text "Server Error" and no more debugging information seems to be available.

If someone else has this working, I would really appreciate some specifics on the configuration you are using.

      Thanks. I did post to that list, but there doesn't seem to be anyone running this configuration. Let me just post some of my config settings here and please tell me if anything jumps out at you:

      AppApth C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
Args [empty]
BindPath php-fcgi

      [download]
      I'm especially unsure about the BindPath. Should I change that, or is it wired into the DLL?

      Here's the test script I'm trying (taken straight from FCGI POD): 

      use FCGI;

my $count = 0;
my $request = FCGI::Request();

while($request->Accept() >= 0) {
    print("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n", ++$count);
}

       BindPath is a file used for inter-program communication. Another option is to use a  Port (I prefer to use Port).

      This site gives some more detailed explanation about FCGI configuration options: http://www.os390.ilstu.edu/Docs/icswg012.html (It is not IIS specific).
