I'm looking into developing a cgi interface into a billing system. Normally I'd handle caching, DB connection pooling, and general performance tuning though mod_perl. Of these I'm most concerned about getting DB persistance addressed. The requirements of this project is that I develop this on a Win32 platform, that will be running Apache.
Virtually all my experience of development is on Unix platforms, so this in itself will be quite a challenge. I know that Apache runs as a multi-threaded process under windows, not the *nix multi process model. mod_perl doesn't run multi-threaded. You can only ever run one mod_perl
process on windows which means all mod_perl calls have to be serialised.
So what's the best way of doing this? Do I:
- Go with mod_perl regardless
- Develop something in FastCGI (as I don't really need access to the Apache API)
- Look into some other kind of way of doing this (like SQL Relay)
As ever, any help will be greatly appreciated....
