Hi I am trying to set up FastCGI, and have run into problems. When I run the script the first time, it works fine. When I run it again, it keeps the same CGI parameters (and so always loads the same page). Simplified down, my script looks like this - 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
 
use CGI; 
use FCGI; 
use Data::Dumper; 
 
my $count = 0; 
my $request = FCGI::Request(); 
 
while($request->Accept() >= 0) { 
  print("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"); 
  print "Hello world - count = $count\n"; 
 
  my $q = new CGI; 
 
  print "Name = " . $q->param("name") ; 
  $count++; 
}

Running Apache 1.3.33 - relevant config is simple, just 
FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate 
<Directory "/"> 
  Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI 
  AllowOverride None 
  AddHandler  fastcgi-script pl fpl fcgi 
</Directory>

[download]
So...how can I get the proper CGI params each time the page is loaded?

Thanks very much
Jay
